Dear APAO Members,

We are excited to update you on the latest happenings with the APAO. Over the last few years, the APAO leadership has worked diligently to promote the utilization of mid-level providers in the delivery of the best possible cancer care. We continue to grow and make tremendous strides in our relations with AAPA, and other oncology groups, such as ASCO, COA, SSO, AHPBA, etc. In addition to providing high quality CME conferences, the APAO has a grand vision to expand our nationwide network of oncology PAs, increase our membership services, provide more educational opportunities, and reach out to students to strengthen our oncology mid-level provider workforce.

We believe that this vision is well within our reach. We also believe that in order to reach our goals, we will need the assistance of active volunteers to make things happen.

Would you please consider joining our APAO volunteer workforce?

The following committees represent some key initiatives in helping APAO expand our membership, increase our services, and reach our goals.

1) Membership
2) Professional Practice Network (Hospital/ Academic Center and Community Oncology Network)
3) Education/ CME
4) Website/ Newsletter
5) Scholarship
6) Student Outreach
7) 2012 Conference Planning

Other volunteer opportunities may include serving as an APAO liaison to other oncology groups. If you are interested in volunteering in any of the above committees, or even other areas not listed, please contact Steve Wei, or contact the APAO committee chair.

We look forward to your participation and continued involvement with the APAO!

Sincerely,

Steven Wei, MS, MPH, PA-C
