💙 PAs expand access — and redefine what’s possible in medicine.

With over 590 million patient interactions every year, Physician Associates (PAs) are closing care gaps and delivering expert, compassionate healthcare across every state, specialty, and setting.

But their impact reaches far beyond the clinic:
🏛 Leadership at the White House — A PA serves as the Director of the White House Medical Unit, overseeing care for the President, Vice President, and senior staff, while directing global medical operations.
🧊 Antarctica Missions — PAs provide care in some of the most remote and extreme environments on Earth.
🚀 Spaceflight History — A PA became the first-ever PA in space, serving as medical officer on a historic all-civilian mission.
🥇 Olympic Medicine — PAs serve on Team USA’s medical teams, supporting world-class athletes at the highest level of competition.

This , we celebrate the PAs who go beyond — expanding access, leading with purpose, and pushing the boundaries of modern medicine.

✨Kicking off PA Week with inspiration and pride!✨

Today, members of FAPA were honored to be in attendance at two incredible White Coat Ceremonies — moments that mark a defining step in every PA student’s journey.

🩺 At Miami Dade College, FAPA South Regional Director Marilyn Suri, PA-C, joined students, faculty, and families in celebration as future PAs donned their white coats for the very first time.

🩺 Simultaneously, at the USF PA Program, FAPA Executive Director Christina Clark, PA-C, witnessed the next generation of clinicians step into their calling with passion and purpose.

The white coat is more than a garment — it’s a symbol of compassion, responsibility, and lifelong commitment to the care of others. It represents the trust our patients place in us and the promise we make to always show up with integrity, knowledge, and heart.

As we prepare to celebrate PA Week starting Monday, we are reminded of the incredible unity and strength within our profession. PAs work in every corner of medicine — in every specialty, every community, and every setting — to serve, to heal, and to lead.

Here’s to our future colleagues and to the PAs across Florida and beyond who make a difference every day. 💙
