Katherine GeeBah Footracer, an NCCPA-certified physician assistant in Los Angeles, who is also Navajo, chose to use her expertise to help her own community.
In April we shared the stories of Certified PAs across the country who were working on the front lines of the fight against COVID-19. Following the publication of those stories we received dozens of additional stories from PAs who are also working tirelessly to address this pandemic.
As many states begin to open up, we share these stories as a reminder that the battle wages on.
Certified Physician Assistants work hard every day, but the coronavirus is proving to be a challenge no one could have ever imagined. Here, in their own words, three Certified Physician Assistants share their stories of fighting on the front lines in this pandemic.
The National Commission on Certification of Physician Assistants (NCCPA) is the only certifying organization for PAs in the United States. NCCPA is dedicated to serving the interest of the public.
We do so with a passionate belief that Certified PAs are essential members of the health care delivery team who provide millions access to more affordable, high quality health care.
