Web Text: Society for Physician Assistants in Pediatrics Website
Just as pediatrics is a speciality within the field of medicine, the Society for Physician Assistants in Pediatrics (SPAP) is a subdivision within the larger discourse community of physician assistants. Even though SPAP is a subdivision, it still complies with the characteristics of the discourse community of physician assistants, especially in regards to goals. The mission statement found on the SPAP website is as follows:
"The mission of SPAP is to improve the health care of children by supporting Physician/PA teams who provide cost effective, quality care to pediatric patients and by promoting a network for communication and education between providers dedicated to the well being of children."
This mission statement explicitly sets forth the goals of the Society for Physician Assistants in Pediatrics, and these goals are in direct accordance with those of the larger discourse community of physician assistants.
