Do you have your gift picked out for the special PA in your life? (And that special PA can be yourself. We won’t tell!) You can get your holiday shopping done at the PA History Society and help the Society’s efforts to preserve the profession’s history with your tax-deductible donation for any of our products!

*Please make sure to place orders by 12/16/2022!*

Check out our selection of books:

Physician Assistants as Social Innovators in Healthcare: The newest publication of the PA Society! This book presents the history of the PA profession as a social innovation that has changed and improved the way medical, surgical and preventive health care services are delivered. It not only looks into the history of the profession but also how PAs continue to be innovators today!

Just Say for Me: A collection of quotes by the founder of the PA profession, Dr. Eugene Stead.

Learning to Learn: The teaching legacy and philosophy of Dr. Eugene Stead Jr..

The DVD The Way We Were: A conversation between the first presidents of AAPA, NCCPA, and PAEA moderated by Ruth Ballweg.

The PA History Society also has other products available for gift-giving!

Decorate your clinic wall or the office space of a PA loved one with the PAs: 50 Years of Innovation and Diversity Poster!

We also have our special 50 years of PA Innovation  and Make Time for PA History lapel pins to liven up your PA’s white coat!

If you want the end this year and begin the new year with some good karma (and a tax deduction) you can donate straight to the PA History Society by clicking here. If you donate more than $100, you automatically become a Friend of the Society, which comes with a beautiful certificate and your name featured on our website!

Happy holiday shopping for all things PA-C!!
