    Today, the Supreme Court reversed the long standing Roe vs Wade decision. This now allows Mississippi to enforce a 15-week ban on abortion, and it regrettably allows the opportunity for other state legislatures to further restrict and potentially ban abortion. While expected, we are nonetheless shocked and highly concerned for our patients, their families, and our fellow health care colleagues. There are many uncertainties at this time, but what remains is our effort as OB/GYN PAs to uphold our commitment to increasing access to quality, equitable and affordable healthcare for all. As providers of obstetrical and gynecological care, we will continue to support birthing people through their happiest times and also in these most challenging times. As we work to begin establishing a task force to address these most important issues, please be on the lookout for information on how YOU can help.

    The NCCPA Board of Directors is pleased to announce their approval to develop a new Certificate of Added Qualification (CAQ) in Obstetrics and Gynecology (OBGYN). Leaders from the Association of PAs in OBGYN (APAOG) reached out to NCCPA to request consideration of a CAQ in this specialty area.

    “There continues to be a misunderstanding of PAs’ training and utilization in OBGYN, and without a CAQ that provides a competitive edge for PAs, they will continue to be marginalized from practicing in this specialty,” said APAOG President Melissa Rodriguez, DMSc, PA-C.
