Early Career Travel Assistance Program
​
To encourage greater participation by those in practice three years or less, PAAA waives the PAAA member registration fee for PAAA early career members. PAAA early career members will also be able to receive a $100/night subsidy on their overnight accommodations (Receipts required. Subsidy available for a maximum of three nights.)
Please reach out to paaa@paallergy.org for additional information.
Mentoring Program
The PAAA, in conjunction with our Pennsylvania Allergy Education Research Fund (PAERF) Committee, is excited to announce an expansion of our long-standing Mentor-Mentee Program. This year, all in training/early career annual meeting attendees will be paired with a current active PAAA member.
​
Our mentorship program is geared to enhance the PAAA Annual Meeting experience for trainees and veteran practitioners alike and provide an opportunity to continue the relationship throughout the year. This mentorship will run from June to May.
​
All mentors and mentees who are registered for the PAAA Annual meeting will meet during the In-Training Networking Reception. This goal of this reception is to connect FITs and early career physicians with our esteemed faculty and seasoned leadership and foster a relationship of growth and development.
​
If you are unable to attend the PAAA Annual Meeting but would like to participate in the Mentoring Program, contact PAAA Staff at paaa@paallergy.org.
