PA Observations

PA Observations is a new service that pairs students, researchers, and organizations with PAs who want to share their experiences.

Interested In Sharing Your PA Experience?

Consider completing short surveys! You may receive a small thank you gift. All surveys are optional and you may take as many or as few as you wish. You will not receive more than one sponsored survey a month, unless you are part of a niche professional group. Opportunities may include but are not limited to reviewing informational materials and providing feedback to organizations, answering questions about types of services rendered, or use of certain classes of medications.
