What We Do
As the philanthropic arm of the American Academy of PAs, the Physician Associate Foundation provides support to PAs and PA students through grants for PA-led health projects, scholarships for future PA leaders, and patient education tools. Our programs, guided by our mission, help PAs and PA students make an impact – with their patients, in their communities, and for their profession, locally and worldwide.
