ATTENTION MISSISSIPPI PAs:
The MAPA Board of Directors is aware of the letters received
by many PAs in the state from MSBML, stating that the MBSML is
limiting the number of back-up physicians a PA may have. The
MAPA BOD had a teleconference with AAPA representatives for
guidance concerning this issue, and a meeting with MSBML
as well. The BOD wants everyone to know that we are making
every effort to address and rectify this issue as quickly as
possible. We will pass on any information as soon as we get it.
If this affects your practice, MAPA recommends that you have your
supervising and/or backup physician(s) write a letter to MSBML
to communicate the potential negative impact on their practice
and request a waiver to the 3 back-up physician limitation.
Mail to: MSBML, Attn: Regina Lyle, 1867 Crane Ridge Drive,
Suite 200-B, Jackson, MS 39216.

Mississippi Academy of Physician Assistants
|
Welcome to the Web site of the Mississippi Academy of Physician Assistants.
As the voice of the PA profession in Mississippi, MAPA's mission is to:
- Provide common ground where all
Mississippi PAs can be heard;
- Assure quality healthcare for
all Mississippians;
- Provide CME programs and educational
workshops for PAs;
- Advance the PA concept through
the education of both professional and lay persons;
- Mold the shape of our profession
by proactive intervention in legislative affairs.
This Web site will serve both the
members of MAPA as well as the general public by providing
a forum for services and ideas designed to strengthen
and promote the PA profession throughout Mississippi.
It will also strive to publicize the contributions of
PAs to patients, employers, and policy makers.
We hope you will find it informative and easy to
navigate. Please feel free to contact any member of
the Board of Directors with any questions, comments,
or suggestions you may have.
