Satellite Symposium
Lower Level - Exhibit Halls 1-6 > Section 11
Description
Satellite Symposiums are non-commercial scientific sessions carrying AAPA Category 1 CME credit supported by members of the healthcare industry to complement the conference CME program. They undergo a separate accreditation process that includes content review for bias and balance. These sessions are not part of the official AAPA 2027 program and are planned solely by the educational provider.
Dates/Time Slots:
Friday, May 21, 2027: Dinner 6 - 8 p.m.
Sunday, May 23, 2027: Dinner 6 - 8 p.m.
Application deadline is January 31, 2027
Please pay close attention to each required component of the application and make sure all information is accurate. Incomplete applications will not be reviewed. AAPA must be notified of any changes made after submission deadline which include, but are not limited to, changes in the management company, corporate supporter(s), speakers, and the title of program.
Acceptance is based on topic, scientific content, and other criteria, as determined by AAPA. All proposals must provide a practice performance gap analysis related to PA practice.
The provider is the organization responsible for the educational content and development of a CME program (e.g., communications company, medical education company, public relations agency, etc.). A commercial interest may not function as a provider.
Applications must be signed by representatives accepting responsibility for the program. By signing the application, each representative agrees to take responsibility for following the AAPA Satellite Symposium Guidelines. Please designate one contact person with whom AAPA should communicate, and who agrees to share information with other program representatives.
Applicants will be notified by February 15, 2027*, of their tentative approval and a formal AAPA agreement will be sent, in which the day, time, and location for the session will be established. Final approval, however, is contingent upon AAPA’s review of all marketing materials, electronic copies of all slides, handout materials, and online CME evaluation questions. These items are due no later than April 1, 2027*, and applicants should allow a minimum of 10 business days for the review of all materials. Materials submitted after April 1*, or not reviewed and approved by AAPA, may not be used.
