The Problem
There is a severe shortage of primary care providers in many rural and urban areas. I want to help fill that ever growing gap and bring affordable health care to millions across the country.
Why It's Important
I grew up in a rural community and spent a few years out of the country serving others whose circumstances were even more dire than those I witnessed at home. I want to take those lessons learned and apply them to help those around me who find it difficult to obtain reliable medical care.
The Plan Of Action
I've already been accepted to an accredited graduate school offering a Physician Assistant program. I will begin classes in August 2010. If I can find funding to finance my education it would give me the opportunity to focus my efforts on providing quality care in a medically undeserved area rather than entering a high paying specialty to pay of my student debt.
How Can Others Get Involved?
By educating the public about the services a Physician Assistant can provide and supporting the movement to place more primary care physician assistants in rural areas.
