CAPA would like to extend an invaluable educational and leadership opportunity for physician assistant students in the state of California. CAPA's Continuing Medical Education Committee is preparing for the 34th Annual CAPA Conference in Palm Springs, October 7 - 10, 2010.

The Annual Conference is a big event and we rely on Student Ambassadors to ensure that things run smoothly. Student Ambassadors will serve in a variety of functions that include being door and room monitors, runners, and audio-visual liaisons. In return for their hard work, CAPA will offer lodging at the beautiful Wyndham Hotel and/or registration fees for eligible Student Ambassadors. The Student Ambassadors will be able to attend some CME lectures and, if desired, they may pay to attend workshops. Student Ambassadors must be willing to share a hotel room with two other Student Ambassadors. No other lodging subsidies will be provided. Students will also have the opportunity to meet physician assistants from across the nation with various levels of experience and to see the importance of their political involvement for the success of this great profession.

Interested students (who are CAPA members) are asked to write a brief paragraph about themselves stating which PA program they attend and why they would like to serve as a Student Ambassador. Please email (capa@capanet.org), mail, or fax your information to the CAPA office, C/O Student Ambassador Program. Deadline is July 1, 2010.

We look forward to working with you!
