"I have chosen to become a Physician Assistant because of the broad impact I can make on my patients, their families, and my community. As a PA, I can get to know my patients more closely than many other healthcare providers. As a PA, I will positively contribute to the profession by bringing whole-health knowledge and mindset to my patients. When my patients feel motivated and empowered to take their entire health into their hands, it will create a trickle-down effect on other aspects of their lives, including their family members' well-being. This ripple will help create greater respect for general health care, improving how the public views our profession and how often patients visit their physicians for regular checkups."
