Join the 2020 PSPA CME Virtual

Conference

The PSPA’s 45th CME Conference will be held virtually, October 21-24, 2020, to follow the social distancing guidelines in effect due to COVID. The PSPA wants to provide the same high-quality CME sessions via live-stream or on demand.  Attendees will have access to 26 hours of CME from the medical general sessions.  The live-stream sessions will be offered on-demand after the conference so you can review a session or catch up on the sessions you may have missed due to a change in your schedule. On-demand sessions will be available until June 1, 2021.

We have a great line-up of speakers who will provide 26 hours of CME sessions, and we’re exploring the possible availability of our two-hour workshops, including medical Spanish, acid/base disorders and child abuse.  The schedule of events and speakers can be found here.  There will also be many networking opportunities between the virtual attendees, exhibitors, and sponsors.

The PSPA is looking forward to seeing you virtually so we can come together to obtain CME, learn about new products and services, and celebrate the “hero” in each of you.

NCCPA LOGGING

The NCCPA and the Pennsylvania Society of Physician Assistants have worked together to reduce the time and effort associated with logging your conference hours for our Fall CME Conference. NCCPA has designed a special system whereby PAs can click on a unique link in their online NCCPA personal certification record at www.nccpa.net and select the sessions they attended from a master list of sessions that PSPA supplied to NCCPA. The PA can automatically apply those sessions wherever they need them, as long as the hours are earned in the correct logging window. Logging will be available starting November 1, 2020.

SELF-PRINTING OF LECTURES

PSPA receives the preliminary lecture slides or outlines from our speakers prior to the conference. The material that we receive will be online for conference registrants by October 13, 2020.
