Happy PA Day and National PA Week! Here at Barton Associates, we’re excited to have the opportunity to show our appreciation for this talented, skilled group of physician assistants. On the profession’s 50th anniversary, we’re looking back on how much the profession has grown and looking forward to how it will evolve in the future — and we’ve asked three PAs and one PA student to do the same!

In our new PA Day video, created in collaboration with our friends at Clinician1, these professionals let us know what they’re most proud of and what they’re most looking forward to. Check it out!
