The Charter Oak Conference (COC) is the best attended physician
assistant Continuing
Medical Education (CME) conference in New England. By exhibiting
at the COC, your
business will have exposure to a vast audience of physician
assistants across Connecticut
and the northeast.
PAs are the fourth fastest growing profession of the health care
market. With a current
count of approximately 83,000 certified PAs, this number is
expected to increase to over
100,000 within the next few years. Now is the time to reach your
core audience of
professionals in Connecticut.
Join the growing list of supporters and exhibit at the 27th
Annual Charter Oak
Conference. Also maximize your support of the COC and your
exposure to conference
attendees by adding your company name to a special conference
activity.
With your support and cooperation, ConnAPA can achieve its
mission of providing
quality, affordable CME for PAs.
Physician Assistants write more than 333 million prescriptions a
year and see more than 257 million pa-
tients a year. They often diagnose and treat patients without
physician input, routinely perform medical
and surgical procedures, and are employed in rural and urban
areas in settings from hospitals to private
practices.
Patients attended only by PAs have increased from 10% to 15%, a
50% increase from 2000-2009.
The Department of Labor has rated the PA profession as the third
fastest growing occupation in the U.S.
If your company markets to physicians it should also market to
PAs.
