In this special birthday + National PA Day episode of Medical Media Mixer, we explore how Physician Assistants (PAs) have been portrayed on screen, from Royal Pains’ Divya Katdare to ER’s Jeanie Boulet, and even real-life astronaut PA Hayley Arceneaux. Beyond Hollywood, we dive into the fascinating history of the PA profession, its evolution, certification process, and what makes PAs such an essential part of modern medicine. Plus, we’re raising a glass with a refreshing themed cocktail—The Royal Remedy. 🍸✨
