The Charter Oak Conference (COC) is the best attended physician assistant Continuing

Medical Education (CME) conference in New England. By exhibiting at the COC, your

business will have exposure to a vast audience of physician assistants across Connecticut

and the northeast.

PAs are the fourth fastest growing profession of the health care market. With a current

count of approximately 83,000 certified PAs, this number is expected to increase to over

100,000 within the next few years. Now is the time to reach your core audience of

professionals in Connecticut.

Join the growing list of supporters and exhibit at the 27th Annual Charter Oak

Conference. Also maximize your support of the COC and your exposure to conference

attendees by adding your company name to a special conference activity.

With your support and cooperation, ConnAPA can achieve its mission of providing

quality, affordable CME for PAs.

Physician Assistants write more than 333 million prescriptions a year and see more than 257 million pa-

tients a year. They often diagnose and treat patients without physician input, routinely perform medical

and surgical procedures, and are employed in rural and urban areas in settings from hospitals to private

practices.

Patients attended only by PAs have increased from 10% to 15%, a 50% increase from 2000-2009.

The Department of Labor has rated the PA profession as the third fastest growing occupation in the U.S.

If your company markets to physicians it should also market to PAs.
