The PA History Society’s birthday is on January 17th!
On this date in 2002, the PAHx was incorporated in North Carolina.
The Society has enjoyed 21 years of fun, educational products and projects that preserve and share the history of the PA profession. Our 21st year is going to be action packed:
We will continue to market and promote our fabulous new educational book, Physician Assistants as Social Innovators in Healthcare.
We will have a booth at both the AAPA annual conference and the PAEA Education Forum, so please make sure to stop by and say hi!
We’ve welcomed our new Historian to the PAHx team, Tricia Marriott.
This year the PAHx Society is welcoming four additions to our Board:
Trustees:
Robin Hunter-Buskey, DHSc, CPHP, CCHP, CDCES, PA-C
Deb Munsell, DHSc, DFAAPA, PA-C
Greg Thomas, MPH, PA-C Emeritus
Student Trustee:
Sophi Leah Scarnewman, PA-S
