NMAPA Annual Primary Care Conference

CANCELLED

It is with great sadness that the New Mexico Academy of Physician Assistants announces the annual fall conference originally scheduled for September 10th-12th has been cancelled due to the ongoing COVID pandemic restricting group gatherings.  This was our 40th year of hosting this important event and I can assure you that our CME team is motivated to make our 41st even better.  We are pursuing alternative dates and have tentatively reserved September 24th-26th 2021
