What is the PA Speaker Program?
The PA Speaker Program is a program of lectures scheduled throughout the calendar year, in place of the scheduled journal club dates, given by PAs who are members of the PDPA on various dermatology topics. The intent of the program is to support our members and colleagues in providing educational lectures at meetings and events. Each speaker is responsible for presenting a 50 minute powerpoint presentation on any dermatology topic of their choice, allowing ten minutes for questions at the conclusion of their lecture. There will be an honorarium and CME Category I credit will be available to attendees. Dinner and cocktails will be provided. Anyone interested in becoming a lecturer, please contact the PDPA at [email protected].
