What is the Ohio Association of Physician Assistants (OAPA)? Formed in 1978, the Ohio Association of Physician Assistants  (OAPA) has provided a foundation for the PA profession for the state of Ohio. This organization promotes quality, cost-effective, accessible health care through the physician assistant–physician team approach. OAPA has and continues to strive to advance this profession through legislation, providing CME opportunities, and promoting our career to the general public.

What is the PA Olympics (PAO)? The Ohio PAO is OAPA’s annual student fundraiser that was founded in 2016 by student members of OAPA. The mission of this fundraiser is to foster unity and connections between Ohio PA programs and PA-Cs through participation in fundraising and engagement with a medical charity. At the end of the annual fundraiser, the Ohio's PA programs celebrate their fundraising efforts by coming together for a track and field style event and friendly competition (virtual in 2021 due to COVID). A PAO winner is determined based on the amount fundraised and points awarded during the field day. The winning program has the honor of nominating the following year’s charity.

What charity is PAO fundraising for in 2021? Reach out of Montgomery County  was nominated by Kettering College and unanimously confirmed by the PAO Committee to receive donations from the 2021 PAO. This clinic was founded in 1995 with a mission to secure the underserved population access to health care services by local medical provider volunteers. Unfortunately, due to COVID, the organization has temporarily closed their physical location, but has been able to expand their care through TeleHealth.
