The Pre-Physician Assistant Society is an established UMBC student organization with the purpose of promoting awareness of the Physician Assistant (PA) career. We aim to explain the roles and duties of a PA, describe the entry requirements for PA school, and help you along the process of applying for, and working toward a career as a Physician Assistant. Our goal is that students begin thinking about PA school from the start of their college career as we open up opportunities for them to talk to PA school representatives, PAs, and current PA students.
