Celebrating National PA Week!

October 6-12, 2025

Join the Coalition this week in recognizing all of our incredible PAs for National PA Week! The PA profession produced its first class of graduates in 1967 and was seen as a creative and necessary solution to addressing physician shortages across the country.

Today, our healthcare system would be nothing without the tireless work of our PAs and everyone who has championed the progress toward accreditation and inclusion of PAs in delivering excellent patient care.

Celebrate the progress and impact of PAs in your system and learn more about the history of National PA Week at https://www.aapa.org/news-central/2025/09/this-pa-week-celebrate-117-years-of-progress/.
