PPA makes continuing education more accessible for providers across the Commonwealth by offering many virtual options. As a member, you receive discounted rates on nearly all our programs, helping you make the most of your time and financial resources. While many of our events are open to nonmember at a higher rate, membership quickly proves to be the more cost-effective option.
