As we kick off our 50th Anniversary, we’re excited to welcome Truett Smith, MPAS, PA-C, DFAAPA as the 2026 President of the North Carolina Academy of Physician Associates 🎉
There’s a full-circle moment here as Truett previously served as president in 2017 during the 50th anniversary of the PA profession and now returns to lead NCAPA during the 50th anniversary of our organization.
Truett brings years of leadership experience, a deep understanding of our Academy, and an unwavering commitment to the profession. As we mark this milestone year, we’re fortunate to have his steady, thoughtful approach to leadership and are confident in his ability to guide NCAPA forward while staying grounded in the work and values that have shaped our profession.
As we celebrate 50 years of NCAPA, we’re grateful for the members, volunteers, and leaders who make this community what it is. Here’s to honoring where we’ve been, and continuing to move forward together.
