Valle Vista Golf & Conference Center
Greenwood, Indiana
As President and CME Committee Chair for Indiana Academy of PAs, it is my privilege to welcome you to our 2024 Fall CME Conference This year is even more notable due to our celebration of 50 years of PAs in Indiana. Since 1974, IAPA has represented and advocated for our profession along with the health and wellbeing of Hoosiers. The vision of IAPA has always included support for the on-going professional development and intellectual enrichment of Indiana’s PA community and our Fall CME Conference aims to meet that goal.
We have worked hard to develop a diverse agenda to support your continued practice and professional development. This year we are proud to include opioid education to support your state license and DEA renewal. We aimed to provide you with opportunities to network with fellow PAs as well as industry professionals during both days of the conference. Our conference once again culminates with our annual student challenge bowl and we hope you join us in supporting and cheering on our future colleagues.
We are happy you are joining us to celebrate our 50th anniversary and the PA community in Indiana.
