The Pre-Physician Assistant Association at Pitt is an organization that brings together students who are currently on or considering pursuing the Physician Assistant track. We help guide undergraduate students along the pre-PA journey by providing information and resources regarding the PA profession, including shadowing, undergraduate prerequisites for programs, patient care positions, the application process, interviews, etc. We commit ourselves to volunteering events and frequently offer Q&A sessions with practicing PAs, faculty, and students currently in Pitt’s PA program. Our mission is to dedicate ourselves to serving others in alignment with the values of health care and the PA profession. PPAA at Pitt seeks to offer resources and support in order to assist members along the PA journey.
