PAs in Administration

For Sheri A. Shebairo, MBA, PA-C, getting to the bottom of an issue has been a driving force throughout her professional life. Her first career was as a television news reporter in New York, but she always knew she wanted to have a more personal impact on the lives of others.

AAPA is committed to connecting pre-PAs, PA Students, and PAs at all career stages with the resources they need to navigate every step of their career journey. There are hundreds of resources in the Career Central library, and we are adding more all the time.
