Welcome to the Web site of the Mississippi Academy of Physician Assistants. As the voice of the PA profession in Mississippi, MAPA's mission is to:

• Provide common ground where all Mississippi PAs can be heard;
• Assure quality healthcare for all Mississippians;
• Provide CME programs and educational workshops for PAs;
• Advance the PA concept through the education of both professional and lay persons;
• Mold the shape of our profession by proactive intervention in legislative affairs.

This Web site will serve both the members of MAPA as well as the general public by providing a forum for services and ideas designed to strengthen and promote the PA profession throughout Mississippi. It will also strive to publicize the contributions of PAs to patients, employers, and policy makers.

We hope you will find it informative and easy to navigate. Please feel free to contact any member of the Board of Directors with any questions, comments, or suggestions you may have. President's Letter
