February 18, 2021

As a fellow member, you’ve probably used AAPA’s large catalogue of free and discounted CME, or you’ve attended Conference at the member rate. Maybe you’ve referenced our comprehensive Salary Report to negotiate pay or contemplate changing specialties. But have you taken advantage of all the member benefits that can help save you money?

Enhance Patient Health with Clinical Tools and Resources

AAPA’s mission is to empower our members to advance your careers and enhance patient health – so of course your membership provides access to clinical tools and resources at discounted (or free!) rates. Three of our favorites:

• UpToDate, a clinical decision support resource PAs trust to help make the right point-of-care decisions, – one of our most popular member benefits – is available to you for a 20% discount.
• Canopy, the NIH-funded medical language app, will enable you to communicate with more patients in no time. As an AAPA member, you receive $20 off each Learn Medical Spanish course or $100 off the bundle that includes all three courses.
• OvidMD is a centralized online source for point-of-care and research support tools. Access includes: A to Z Drug Facts, medical calculators, patient education handouts, and more. All AAPA members receive OvidMD for FREE.
