About Us

PA Moms ® was established in 2016 and became a Special Interest Group of the American Academy of PAs in December 2020, with a goal of positively impacting the outside community and collaborating with other organizations to fulfill a greater purpose.

Our Mission

Our mission is to provide each other with support, friendship, and camaraderie in order to decrease career burnout and work-related stressors. We recognize the hardships of balancing life at home and our demanding careers as PAs.

PA Moms unifies and empowers PA women to advocate for their patients and our profession, express their full potential, and positively impact the broader healthcare community by giving back and collaborating with other organizations.

The mission of PA moms is both simple and profound: we will change lives, minds and medicine forever and for good by supporting and empowering each other in both the PA profession and motherhood.

Our Vision

PA Moms empowers Physician Associates (PAs) to be of service to one another and their patients to their fullest potential.

Nothing is more powerful than a #PAmom except for thousands of #PAmoms standing together ♥️
