Call Directions Website Contact the organization

Physician Associates for Latino Health - PALH We are an official caucus of the American Academy of Physician Associates (AAPA). PALH began over 30 years ago.

Physician Associates For Latino Health (PALH) is an officially recognized caucus of the American Academy of Physician Assistants (AAPA). The purpose of PALH is to render loyal and honest service to the medical profession and the public, to develop continuing medical or medically related education programs, and to promote the Physician Associate (Assistant) (PA) profession through the education of medical professionals and the general population. Furthermore, PALH strives to support the mission of the AAPA by increasing the diversity of the Academy. The official Translation for PA in Spanish is Asociado Médico adopted in 1998 by AAPA. PALH is transitioning to use “physician associate” when possible, to reflect the 2021 AAPA House of Delegates resolution. PAs should continue to use “physician assistant” or “PA” as their official legal title in a professional capacity, particularly in clinical settings and with patients. For more information, please visit AAPA’s Title Change FAQs. Shop our store and support our PALH Scholarships at: https://pas-for-latino-health.square.site/
