Physician Assistant Program

Building community and supporting the PA journey in the US.

Whitetulip Health Foundation's physician assistant program was newly established to support both practicing physician assistants and individuals who aspire to become PAs. It aims to create a professional network that fosters mentorship, information sharing, and guidance throughout the PA journey — from pre-PA preparation to professional practice.

As a growing group, this program focuses on building community, increasing awareness of the PA profession, and supporting members interested in PA education and professional development within the US healthcare system.

Mentors provide individualized guidance to participants in the program on the following:

• Where to seek education for PA programs and help applying for them.
• Increasing networking among physician assistants and related healthcare professionals throughout the United States.
• Understanding the differences between foreign and domestic healthcare programs and PA boards.
• How foreign educated individuals can apply to work and receive certification as a PA in the United States.
