The Stony Brook PA Student Society


The Stony Brook PA Student Society is a chapter of the Student Academy of the American Academy of Physician Assistants (SAAAPA) and works in conjunction with SAAAPA to coordinate events and advocate for student and professional issues on a local, state and national level. The Society serves as a communication link between the PA classes, faculty, staff and community. Student Society activities include community service, fundraising, public education and promotion of the PA profession. A glimpse of recent Student Society activities are shown below:
