Which New Fellow (PA) Membership Is Right For You?

How to Pick from Professional, Plus, or Premium 

January 20, 2022

In our ongoing efforts to improve our member benefits and provide PAs what they need, we conducted extensive research with PAs across the country. It was clear that PAs wanted different options when it came to AAPA membership. So, we listened to our members and just launched three new fellow membership options: professional, plus, and premium. No matter what type of membership you’re looking for, we have it! Here, we help you decide which of the new membership options is right for you and your career.

Choose Your AAPA Membership Option

If you’re a PA who values networking and career resources…

Fellow Professional is right for you! With Fellow Professional, you’ll be able to use all of the career tools and resources that have made your PA practice successful. You’ll have access to our annual Salary Report, our robust Career Central resources, and the job postings on PA JobSource. You’ll be able to network on Huddle to share and learn from your peers.

If you’re a PA who wants access to loads of free, best-in-class CME…

Fellow Plus or Fellow Premium may be right for you! The latest healthcare information can change quickly, and PAs are life-long learners. Fellow Plus and Fellow Premium members will be able to keep their PA practice cutting-edge with loads of additional CME included with membership.

If you’re a PA who is interested in media training…

Fellow Premium is right for you! As a Fellow Premium member, you’ll be able to take advantage of this first-time offer: media training specifically for PAs. As a PA, you are a trusted voice in your community. Media outlets often look to experts, like you, to educate their audiences on important healthcare issues and trends. Fellow Premium members will be able to develop your media engagement skills with on-demand tools and resources created just for you.

If you’re a PA who loves your current membership… 

Fellow Professional is right for you! If you’re happy with your select free and discounted CME in Learning Central (like the monthly free JAAPA Post Tests), don’t change anything! Keep your membership as is and you’ll be content as a Fellow Professional.

If you’re a PA who buys Conference on Demand every year… 

Fellow Premium is right for you! An always-popular CME bundle, Conference on Demand is included in your Fellow Premium membership. You’ll be able to access the entirety of the Conference on Demand CME bundle, from the comfort of your home or office, and on your own schedule. Given the breadth of CME offered as part of Conference on Demand, you’ll be sure to find both interesting and educational CME that will enhance your PA practice.

If you’re a PA who advocates for the profession…

Fellow Professional is right for you! Your Fellow Professional membership will help support AAPA’s ongoing advocacy efforts. Our advocacy team and the tireless constituent organizations work on behalf of all of our members to improve PA practice. Your Fellow Professional membership will support all state and federal advocacy efforts – and advance PA practice around the country.

If you’re a PA who practices in orthopaedics, hospital medicine, or family medicine…

Fellow Plus is right for you! Musculoskeletal Galaxy on Demand, Adult Hospital Medicine Boot Camp on Demand, and Family Medicine on Demand are three of the seven specialty high-value CME that are included with your Fellow Plus membership. Access to these specialty conferences on demand, a $4,048 value, is definitely a good reason to pick Fellow Plus.

If you’re a PA who attends Conference every year…

Fellow Premium is right for you! Who doesn’t love Conference? If you’re a frequent attendee, you’ll want to consider Fellow Premium, as your Conference registration is included in your membership! Equal in cost to Conference registration, Fellow Premium offers you even more than access to your favorite annual event: specialty high-value CME, Conference on Demand, and free CME in Learning Central.

With these new offerings, AAPA membership is only more optimized for what works for you and your life. Still undecided? Learn more about Fellow Professional, Fellow Plus, and Fellow Premium. We know one of the membership options will be right for you.
