📜 Minnesota PA History Moment | 1987
In 1987, a major milestone for the PA profession took place in Minnesota. The Minnesota Board of Medical Practice, in collaboration with the PA Advisory Council, developed the first PA registration applications. That July, Minnesota approved its first PA registrations, formally recognizing PAs and laying the groundwork for the profession’s growth and impact across the state. We’re proud to honor the leaders and advocates who helped shape PA practice in Minnesota and to celebrate how far the profession has come since those early days. 💙
