First Annual Physician Assistant Health Equity Week
The physician assistant (PA) program is hosting its first annual Health Equity Week from October 4 – 8, 2021. This week is designed to highlight some of the areas of disparity or inequity in healthcare and our local communities, as well as some of the great work being done to combat those issues. Our first cohort of PA students planned this entire week in conjunction with the New Buffalo Institute. Please click on the link below to learn more and contribute to any of our daily topics if interested. This service week happens to coincide with PA Appreciation Week, which occurs annually from October 6 – 12. More to come on that!
