What does SAPA mean in MILITARY

The Society of Army Physician Assistants (SAPA) is a professional organization that serves to support the efforts of Army-affiliated physician assistants. SAPA was founded in 1967 and is dedicated to promoting the profession of military physician assistants, providing information and guidance on practice standards, enhancing professional excellence, and advocating for the needs of military healthcare professionals.

SAPA has four primary goals: to promote the profession of military physician assistants; provide information and guidance on practice standards; enhance professional excellence; and advocate for the needs of military healthcare professionals.

Any active duty or reserve Army Physician Assistant may become an Associate Member upon signing up with SAPA's designated representative at their respective unit. Civilian PAs may become members as well with additional requirements such as proof that they are employed by an official organ or element under U.S. Department of Defense control.

Membership offers many benefits including access to professional resources such as news updates, policy changes, and job postings/opportunities; discounted rates for conferences/events; eligibility for scholarships; awards programs; representation in national legislation matters related to Army PA issues; plus other special opportunities offered throughout the year.
