MAPA Members Make their Mark at 2026 AAPA Conference in New Orleans

Still recovering from from a whirlwind conference in the Big Easy? Us too. But it wasn’t all hurricane drinks and biegnets in the French Quarter. MAPA showed up and represented Minnesota with pride at the American Academy of Physician Associates (AAPA) National Conference.

Over 50 PAs and PA students joined us for the MAPA Meet-Up on May 17. We were thrilled to see so many familiar faces and newcomers from Minnesota. The welcoming event featured good food provided by MAPA, a cash bar, and plenty of opportunity for connecting with colleagues old and new.

A fantastic turnout for our MAPA Meet-Up
