Emory Pre-PA is a student organization with a growing history at Emory. Founded on the principles of building the Physician Assistant community within the greater Atlanta region, the Emory Pre-PA Society educates its members on the profession and offers an environment for all students (both in and outside of Emory) to grow and explore their interests in the field. All funds raised will help the club extend its influence to fulfill this mission better.
Some of the events we have already hosted include our suturing clinic, our annual PA School Tour led by the Emory PA School admissions director, and a CDC museum tour! We are currently working to bring our members into the School of Medicine Simulation Lab to offer a more hands-on experience for our members, as these simulations are often omitted from the undergraduate curriculum, and we are also trying to implement monthly catered dinners so that we can allow our members to eat with PAs, PA students, and PA professors. We have also revitalized our PA-Buddy System and connected 20 of our students with 20 students from the Emory PA Program to form a mentee-mentor relationship! All of these activities are done to kickstart our members' professional development.
As a club seeking to build the PA scene on campus and in the greater Atlanta region, we have worked hard to create a space that can help students explore their professional interests. Your support would directly contribute to this cause, as all funds donated would go to realizing our monthly PA dinners, item purchases/giveaways, and clinical experience programs. This gives our students a stronger foundation to explore what it means to be a Physician Assistant and if it is the right profession for them. In supporting Emory Pre-PA Society, you would be directly involved in starting our students’ career goals, effectively investing in their future as healthcare professionals.
