The creativity of PA program faculty and students never ceases to amaze us. From donuts to circular saws to dodgeball — 2015’s PA Week was a memorable one.

University of Alabama at Birmingham kicked off PA Week with students and faculty participating in a Habitat for Humanity build. Then the program hosted celebration lunches with each class, thanking them for choosing the PA profession, and held a White Coat Ceremony for its new 80-student class. To cap off the week, student teams participated in a dodge ball tournament, Dodging for Degrees, to raise money for scholarships for the School of Health Professions. See more photos on Facebook.
