A podcast of The Appalachian Association of PAs. Established in January 2018, The Appalachian Association of Physician Assistants (AppAPA) is a regional chapter of the North Carolina Academy of Physician Assistants (NCAPA) including Watauga, Madison, Yancey, Mitchell, Avery, Ashe, Alleghany, Wilkes, Caldwell, Alexander, Catawba, and Burke counties in North Carolina. Our goal is to provide support and educational opportunities to physician assistants, nurse practitioners, and physician assistant students living and working in the region.
