AAPA’s CME Approval Fees — One More Time
PAEA regrets that the news of an increase in AAPA CME fees published last month in the September Networker was incorrect. AAPA's most recent decision concerning these fees follows:
Upon reconsideration of its recent decision to increase fees, AAPA has decided to revert to its long-standing CME approval fee schedule for PA programs, keeping them on par with AAPA constituent organizations. That is, PA programs will continue to pay $5 per CME credit hour for live activities for which CME credit is requested.
Questions about CME approval fees should be directed to Adrienne Harris, director, continuing medical education, at aharris@aapa.org; (703) 836-2272, ext. 3404.
