Physician Assistant Program Pioneers

We recognize the first five years of Duke PA graduates, whose pioneering efforts made the profession possible.

 

“We stand on the shoulders of our predecessors. Gene Stead understood that. He always said the kudos he received should really be directed to the first PAs who finished the Duke PA Program — they were the ones who made the profession a success.”

— E. Harvey Estes, Jr., MD
