2006 APAP Semiannual Meeting

CALL FOR PRESENTATIONS

APAP is seeking proposals and presenters for all sessions to be offered during the 2006 APAP Semiannual Meeting in San Francisco, California, from May 26-28. Presenting at this meeting is a wonderful opportunity for faculty who are interested in scholarly activity and in presenting their own original work. The deadline to submit proposals is January 6.

Presentations can take any of the following forms

Workshops are participatory experiences in which a maximum of 25-30 percent of the presentation is didactic (lecture) and a minimum of 70 percent involves the active participation of attendees. Workshops can be for 45 or one hour.

Roundtables are brainstorming sessions on preselected topics and provide a forum for sharing ideas. These discussions are often platforms for the generation of future workshops and can be for 45 minutes or one hour.

Panel Presentations are presented by a panel of experts with various views on a particular issue or topic and can be for 45 minutes or one hour.

Pearls of the Profession are 15-minute presentations on a single, narrowly-defined topic (e.g., “Choosing a Textbook”).

Topics

All issues related to PA education and practice will be considered, such as the professional role of the PA, the delivery of health care in connection with PAs, health care issues, and topics of general interest and practical use to the PA profession.
