About the PA Education Association

PAEA is the only national organization representing PA educational programs in the United States. Currently, all of the accredited programs in the country are members of the Association. PAEA provides services for faculty at its member programs, as well as to applicants, students, and other stakeholders. 

The Association was founded in 1972 as the Association of Physician Assistant Programs. Member programs voted to adopt the current name in 2005. 

For more information on the profession and applying, visit our page for advisors and pre-PAs; for a searchable directory of member PA programs, visit the PA Program Directory. You can read more about PAEA's mission and governance here.
