Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI)

Early Career PAs
This committee supports PAs in the early stage of their careers as they grow and develop as providers (during their first five years of practice).
VAPA strives to support PAs at all stages of their career and acknowledges the significant amount of clinical growth that PAs experience within their first 5 years of practice and therefore defines that the first 5 years of practice are considered early in their career. Other providers that may find this material beneficial are PAs who recently relocated and obtained Virginia Commonwealth Licensure and those who may be coming back to practice after dedicating their time to other aspects of their life.
The American Academy of PAs maintains a helpful website for Early Career PAs.
After completion of your graduate training as a PA you may want to pursue specialty training in a fellowship program or PA residency. Below are options to consider.
