50th Anniversary of the Emory Physician Assistant Program

Join us in celebrating the 50th Anniversary of the Emory Physician Assistant Program! When the first class of PA students started at Emory in 1971, the PA profession was in its infancy. Now, 50 years later, Emory PA graduates are providing compassionate health care across our nation and beyond. Our program continues to advance and is proud of recent achievements, including:

Increased our percentage of incoming URiM (underrepresented in medicine) students to twice the national average for PA programs
Added a Social Determinants of Health curricular thread to further prepare our students to carry forward our program tradition of providing culturally sensitive care with increased respect, engagement, and understanding
Placed first in the national iScan PA Student Ultrasound competition in 2018 and 2021 (Emory’s program is one of the first PA programs to implement an ultrasound curriculum)
Added augmented reality technology in our anatomy course to better prepare students for cadaver dissection

The Impact of Your Gift

We invite you to celebrate this special milestone by making a gift to support the unique education and experiences the Emory Physician Assistant Program provides to students to pursue their careers. Your gift will further our mission to recruit, educate, and mentor a diverse group of students, including first-generation, veteran, and URiM students. Your generosity fuels our mission, allowing our program to better support students with the financial burden of enrolling in our PA program, improve and diversify curriculum and professional development opportunities, and implement technology that gives graduates an edge when applying for positions. Please join us in celebrating our program’s recent accomplishments and 50th anniversary by making a donation today!
