AAPA 2024 Research Activities

We’ll be at AAPA 2024 in Houston, May 18-22! Looking to conduct research on PAs and PA students at AAPA 2024? We have two opportunities available for you.

Research Row:
Conduct your own research with a dedicated space on Research Row inside the Expo. Research Row is available to persons/organizations interested in conducting research involving PA and PA students. Reach out to Heather for more information.

Focus Groups:
An opportunity for your company to learn from PAs (max of 10 people) in a 60-minute informal setting to take place during AAPA 2024. Sign up for a sponsored focus group!


Research Presentations

The call for submissions closed January 14, 2024. We expect notifications to be sent mid-February.

Both ePoster and Research in Action feature original research from PAs and PA students on topics from case studies and clinical research to educational and outreach innovations to demonstration projections and quality improvement activities.

 

ePosters

The AAPA Poster Session features original research from PAs and PA students on topics from case studies and clinical research to educational and outreach innovations to demonstration projections and quality improvement activities.



Did you know that each year JAAPA publishes select AAPA conference ePoster abstracts? These abstracts are indexed in OVID and searchable on PubMed. You can find them online today!

Research in Action

Research in Action are 25-minute podium presentations for which attendees receive Category 1 CME credit. One speaker from each Research in Action presentation will receive a small honorarium.


ePosters

There are two venues for presenting ePosters: (1) ePoster Research Rounds (CME) which are 6-minute presentations within a 25-minute time block held in a CME room and (2) ePoster Meet the Authors (non-CME) which are 3-minute presentations within a 60-minute time block in Expo.

Industry Sponsored ePosters. We are once again accepting industry-sponsored ePosters. Corporate/industry research will only be considered for ePoster Meet the Author Sessions, which are non-CME. Please note, corporate/industry sponsored ePosters will not be available online through the AAPA website.

Proposal Process. We have transitioned to a new platform. We hope this makes your experience easier.

Research Completeness. Your ongoing research project does not need to be completed by the time of your presentation if you are submitting new primary research. Please indicate the work is ongoing within the submission portal, include preliminary results, proposed analyses, anticipated findings, and applications for the research.

Support PA Research

One simple way you can support PA research is to become a peer reviewer. Both the ePoster Session and Research in Action series rely on peer reviewers from JAAPA to maintain the high quality of submissions and participants.
