2005 Semiannual Meeting Schedule

APAP 2005 Semiannual Meeting

Orlando, Florida
May 27–29, 2005

APAP’s 2005 Semiannual Meeting will be held from May 27 to 29, in conjunction with AAPA’s 33rd Annual Conference. The Semiannual Meeting will provide an excellent forum for discussion of current issues in PA education, faculty development, and networking opportunities for faculty. APAP sessions, produced and moderated primarily by PAs, provide an excellent resource for faculty, preceptors, and those considering these roles, as well as anyone interested in educational issues affecting the profession. All sessions (with the exception of meal functions) are open to registrants of AAPA’s Annual Conference at no additional cost. A two-day Clinical Coordinator’s workshop will precede the official opening of the meeting.

Registration is being handled by the AAPA, and Advance Registration booklets were mailed in December 2004. Advance registration may be submitted through April 22.

On-line Semiannual Meeting Registration

Conference Hotel and Housing

The Peabody and the Rosen Centre will serve as the conference co-headquarters hotels. There will be no APAP hotel headquarters, since most of the APAP events will be held in the Orange County Convention Center. Housing facilities are located around the convention center and must be made through Navigant International. If you contact the hotels directly, they will advise you that they are sold out, as rooms are blocked for the AAPA Annual Conference. The Hotel Reservation Request Form is available in the AAPA Advance Registration booklet or on-line at www.aapa.org/annual-conf. Only those attendees booking their hotel reservations through AAPA’s official housing vendor, Navigant International South Central, are eligible to ride the AAPA shuttle buses to and from the Convention Center, the Peabody, and the Rosen. Navigant’s phone number is 866/805-6918 or 713/ 369-1241. Although hotel reservations many not be made by phone, Navigant representatives can help with questions.
