Prospective PAs

TAPA does not have a shadowing program.  If you are looking to shadow a PA, we suggest that you contact one of the regional PA chapters that is closest to you.  Please see the list below to see all the PA chapters that we know of.  You can also try your local hospitals for volunteer opportunities or your local County Medical Society.
