GW SMHS PA Students Awarded a $10,000 grant for The Pap Smear Project.

Congratulations to Emily Kim, a third-year dual physician assistant (PA)/master of public health student at the George Washington University (GW) School of Medicine and Health Sciences (SMHS)

You’ve probably heard his name, but there’s so much more to know.

One of the most unique aspects of attending GW is its home in the nation’s capital. Recently, second-year SMHS PA students, Tatum Little and Bradley Cundiff, took advantage of GW’s location by lobbying on Capitol Hill in support of their future profession.

Lisa Mustone Alexander, EdD, MPH, PA-C, proudly represented PA education when addressing health care stakeholders on OUD.

Maura Polansky, PA-C, MS, MHPE, chair and associate professor in the Department of Physician Assistant (PA) Studies at the George Washington University School of Medicine and Health Sciences, attended the American Academy of Physician Assistants 2018 Leadership and Advocacy Summit.

Physician assistant students and an alumna from the Physician Assistant (PA) program at the GW School of Medicine and Health Sciences (SMHS) talked to two dozen students at T.C. Williams High School in Alexandria, Virginia about career pathways toward becoming a PA.

SMHS physician assistant (PA) students go to Capitol Hill to garner support for PA legislation during PA Hill Day.

On Tuesday, November 11, first- year PA students joined up with several GW School of Medicine and Health Sciences residents and faculty to volunteer in the medical tents at The Concert For Valor on the National Mall.

On Saturday, November 8, a group of PA students volunteered with Age-in-Place, a program that performs services for low-income elderly members of the DC area to help them stay in their homes (thereby staying independent).
