2023 VAPAA Excellence Awards
Celebrate Excellence in the VAPAA Community! We continually strive to spotlight the remarkable contributions that PAs make within the VA. We invite you to be a part of this appreciation!

These awards are not for years of service but for the quality of contributions made to students, patients, the community, and the PA profession.
