Physician Assistants for Global Health

               got compassion?

 

PAGH Mission:  

Our mission is to promote cross cultural awareness and serve as a resource for physician assistant services to domestic and international health professional shortage areas. It is our vision to be the authoritative and definitive representative of the PA profession internationally.  A global health professional deficit exists. PAGH will strive to correct this by fostering the use and exposure of qualified PAs worldwide and supporting the individual PA in efforts to work in medically underserved areas.

Thank you for your interest in Physician Assistants for Global Health and global health in general. We are a network of PAs organized to advocate and support PAs and the use of PAs in underserved areas. There is a tremendous amount of interest in volunteering, global health, and the PA role in the international arena. PAGH was designated by the AAPA to handle many of these issues. We are the only PA organization of this type and are working to organize and centralize the PA profession and individual PAs.

(Also we are aware that our website is not meeting our needs at this time. This is something we are working on so that we can efficiently provide you as members access to our every growing network of PAs in global health. Currenly our "members only" access is not working. Please have patience as we continue to meet challenges of an organization of this size. Your support is vital to our success. )
