The PA History Society is sad to announce the passing of a pioneer in the PA profession and a true advocate, Dr. E. Harvey Estes, Jr., MD. Dr. Estes passed away on October 16th, surrounded by his loved ones. He was 100 years old.

Dr. Estes became chair of the Duke PA Program in 1966 and then assume control of it in 1967 when Dr. Stead stepped down. As soon as the original three PA students graduated, Dr. Estes began promoting the profession. He was the driving force being the four "Duke Conferences" that were the catalysts for the formation of most of the PA national organizations.

The PA History Society

The Physician Assistant History Society was created in 2002 when co-founders, Reginald Carter and J. Jeffrey Heinrich, realized the need to preserve the history of the PA profession for future generations.

The PA History Society is dedicated to sharing the history and legacy of the profession through our archival collections of personal and organizational papers, oral histories, biographies, photographs, videos, and library materials.
