Traveling exhibit from the National Library of Medicine highlights global contributions of physician assistants

Physician Assistants: Collaboration and Care – a traveling exhibit from the National Library of Medicine and curated by Loren Miller, Ph.D., an independent historian and curator – is on display at the South Campus Library through Sept. 8. The exhibit describes how the profession developed as a solution to meet the social and health care needs of the mid-20th century and continues to evolve today. The exhibit features stories of PAs in communities all over the world and on the front lines of health crises, like the recent Ebola epidemic. It also features PAs from the highest echelons of government, including Congresswoman Karen Bass from California and George McCullough, the first White House PA.
