  2. ABOUTUS • The mission of the Pre-PA Society is to encourage, recognize and promote the personal and professional development of those students who have expressed an interest in becoming reputable health care providers. • The essence of the consortium is to provide academic support and professional insight by fostering growth in each member while upholding the highest standards of ethics in the medical field. • Furthermore, the organization will serve to promote awareness of the Physician Assistant (PA) profession as a viable career choice, to provide each member with a thorough understanding of the role of the PA profession, and to support each member through the PA application.  

  3. Why Become a PA? • You should consider the Physician Assistant occupation if you have a strong interest in medicine, do not want to be in school or incur debt over 4 years and still have specialty training as a physician would, but still want autonomy, medical skills and a good income. 3 3
