Include information about his start to teaching and his initial inspiration for creating the physician program along with his beliefs on the overall years of schooling of medical school:

As an undergraduate at Emory University, he earned his tuition by working in the biology department as a student assistant. By age 33, he had become a professor of medicine at this institution.

There are now more than 306 PA programs in the US. The job outlook for physician assistants is projected to be 27% between the years of 2022-2032, which is faster than average.

Nationally, there is a healthcare worker shortage. The healthcare profession that is suffering the most from this; however, are physicians.Studies and surveys have found that the majority of Americans who have personally been treated by a PA or have a family member who has, were satisfied, which points to physician assistants being able to be a part of the solution to alleviating the burden of the shortage.
