Advocacy

CAPA strives to provide leadership as the national authority and resource on the Physician Assistant practice. We will do this by working to achieve the following objectives:

  1. Achieve licensure of Physician Assistants by regulatory Colleges in seven (7) provinces.
  2. In partnership with appropriate stakeholders, develop Physician Assistant funding model(s).
  3. Achieve recognized employment status for Physician Assistants in two (2) additional provinces.
  4. Initiate and advance dialogue with two (2) new provinces/territories each year regarding the introduction of Physician Assistant practice.
