We call on President Trump and his administration to permanently grant Full Practice Authority to all Federal service PAs so they may function as Licensed Independent Practitioners in all Federal jurisdictions.

The PA profession was born over 50 years ago under similar circumstances to those today - patient care needs across the US rapidly outpacing the supply. Medics returning from Vietnam were already battle-hardened and had valuable medical skills to rapidly translate into clinical practice at home. Since then PAs have become a highly trusted healthcare provider across the country. Our rich history embodies the spirit of American creativity in solving problems. In fact, PAs are literally made in America. We are ready to serve.
