Penn College’s physician assistant program celebrated PA Week – observed annually Oct. 6-12 – with an outdoor pizza lunch for its students on Monday.
PA Week is promoted by the American Academy of Physician Associates to celebrate all that physician associates/assistants (PAs) have accomplished, highlight the care they provide, and elevate the profession.
PAs are licensed clinicians who practice medicine in every specialty and setting. Trusted, rigorously educated and trained health care professionals, PAs are dedicated to expanding access to care and transforming health and wellness through patient-centered, team-based medical practice.
