Conference, September, 2010
Our second year students attended the Student Program offered by the AAPA at the annual conference. This year it was held in Indianapolis, IN. The students prepare posters and are given registration, hotel stays and multiple receptions in addition to the Student Luncheon and Workshop on Job Search, Interviewing and Negotiations. It is a prime opportunity for students to network with practicing PAs, often getting interviews or contacts from the conference experience. This is the second year the AAPA has offered this unique opportunity and the second year our students have participated!

The students attend multiple receptions, exhibitor sessions, and meet and greets at the conference. Our past graduates, Caryn Cooper and Jordan Simms (Class of 2009) are talking to Class of 2010 students Heather Harman, Allison Pack, Brian Foster, and Amanda Offutt.
