To fulfill the AAPA mission and vision, it is essential that AAPA has close working relationships with national physician and medical specialty organizations. These relationships are achieved through the volunteer medical liaison program.
Information about the medical liaison program is available by contacting Ellen Rathfon, Senior Director, Professional Advocacy, [email protected].
