Mission

The PA Olympics has become a renowned cross-cultural event for PA students, faculty, alumni, and guests of local Philadelphia Physician Assistant Programs. The event affords participants to come together and work collectively in service to raise awareness of a community-based organization.

The goal of the event is to unite the leadership and service engagement talents of PA faculty and students from local PA programs to raise funds for a designated local charity each year.
