I recently had the opportunity to attend a panel discussion on step therapy and dermatological care on Capitol Hill on behalf of the SDPA. The SDPA is a professional member of the Derma Care Access Network (DCAN), an organization that sponsors educational initiatives and advocacy programs designed to encourage informed policymaking about the benefits of access to approved therapies and appropriate clinical care.
Recently, several SDPA leaders attended the 2018 AAPA Leadership and Advocacy Summit in Washington, D.C. The event began with a full day dedicated to federal advocacy, as well as afternoon visits on Capitol Hill. The remainder of the event included sessions that were focused on advancing Optimal Team Practice, advocacy skill-building, and best practices for constituent organization leaders.
2016 was a busy year for PAs, however over the past year the SDPA has been hard at work for you. We wanted to take a moment to share some of our ongoing efforts to continue to empower, educate and advance your future.
