Kenneth Ferrell is the first PA in the world and the only living PA from the first graduating class. He graduated from Duke University on October 6, 1967. Ken was a US Navy corpsman and was handpicked by Dr. Eugene Stead.

Ken wrote the first code of conduct for the AAPA. He is the longest-living PA in the world - 55 years!

Ken recently underwent surgery that has put him financially in a difficult position. He is not complaining. He has gratitude and trusts God will provide.

Happy Here are four of the 54 PAs at the South Texas VA and we would like to take this opportunity to thank them all. PA's are broadly trained in a wide spectrum of conditions and tasks. Their education focuses on patient education, preventive care, and chronic care management. They can help patients improve their quality of life and manage chronic conditions.

Hello Everyone,

For those that might be interested in a little extra compensation for weekend work, UT Health is hiring a PA to work at the Saturday Clinic at the MARC:

http://m.rfer.us/UTHSCSAyZT4Sf

Some extra details about this job:

If hired, the PA will primarily provide care at a Saturday clinic (as noted above) from 8 AM to 5 PM. They will share responsibility with another PA, which means they may work 2-3 times a month. As noted, there may be other opportunities; however, there are no requirements outside the Saturday clinic.

Please feel free to apply if you're interested or, if you have any questions, please don't hesitate to send me a message.
