For the second half of November we’re joined by a familiar face to the Pre-PA Society... our amazing Guest Speaker PA-S Andrea! ✨ 

PA-S Andrea is a Portland native who ventured out to NYC to pursue her professional endeavors at the CUNY School of Medicine. Prior to PA school, she worked as an EMT for a mobile in-home urgent care service and for the fire department’s community health division. Notably, she graduated both high school and college early giving her time to pursue the rest of the requirements for a well rounded application. 

Beyond the PA side of her journey, she enjoys travelling (especially to Vietnam), enjoying good food, doing crafty projects, finding new coffee shops, and drinking lattes. 

"As a future PA, I want to build long-lasting relationships with my patients, educate them, and advocate for underserved communities." - PA-S Andrea

For November we’re back with another one of our amazing Guest Speaker Events! This time we welcome PA-C Tina Chen! ✨

These include treating abnormal heart rhythms, heart failure, cardiovascular risk management, lipid management, hypertension, and working with innovative medical devices. Tina finds the field of cardiology rewarding with the continuous advancements in heart health.
