Samantha Dickson, PA-C

ASCO Liaison & HOD Delegate
Education Committee

I’m a PA with 4 years experience specializing in pediatric oncology with a clinical focus on palliative care. I have served as APAO Secretary, ASCO liaison, and currently contribute to the AAPA Ethical and AI Task Forces. I’m excited to serve as the APAO House of Delegates representative and further advocate for oncology PAs and the patients we serve.

AAPA’s liaison to ASCO: The ideal candidate is an AAPA member who will have demonstrated the ability to develop relationships, assertively address issues with physicians and medical organizations, and have a track record of securing physician support for PA issues. This PA will have an excellent working relationship with AAPA leaders and have extensive clinical experience. They will be well-versed in and supportive of AAPA’s strategic plan and policy positions, particularly optimal team practice and title change.
AAPA House of Delegates: The House of Delegates (HOD) articulates the shared values, beliefs, and professional wisdom of PAs from all corners of the greater AAPA community. Made up of representatives from AAPA’s constituent organizations (i.e. APAO) and Student Academy, the HOD enacts policies and position statements on behalf of the profession.
The APAO Education Committee is responsible for the development of new educational content and CME activities produced for APAO members.
