Admin/Biographical History |
A 1971 graduate of the Duke University Physician Assistant Program, Bartow was the first physician assistant to be hired full-time to work on staff at the American Academy of Physician Assistant (AAPA). He was hired in 1977 - three years after the AAPA opened its national office in Washington, DC - as the organization's convention manager. A year later, Bartow was promoted to General Manager. In this role, he helped organize AAPA "State Chapters." He presented seminars to newly elected state chapter officers on how to develop meetings for their local memberships. The AAPA annual meeting grew from 325 attendees and 30 exhibits to 1500 attendees and 140 exhibits before Bartow departed in 1984 to become an independent consultant for managing other associations' medical meetings. |
