Should PAs get involved in oral health?
Many Americans lack regular access to dental care; this is especially true in the state of Florida. One proposal to address this problem is the inclusion of physician assistants in oral health care delivery. This survey investigates physician assistants' interests and desires to serve in an oral health capacity. Your participation gives valuable information that could aid in increasing access to oral health.

FAPA would like your feedback by completing a Membership Survey so that we can better serve our members and continue to provide the needed education and support for Physician Assistants in Florida. Just click on this link to share your thoughts and ideas with FAPA.
