In this episode, Dipu Patel, DMSc, MPAS, PA-C, president of the PA Education Association (PAEA), hosts a powerful conversation with two leaders in PA education: Brandon Beattie, MMSc, PA-C, director of didactic education and assistant professor at the GW School of Medicine and Health Sciences, and Colonel Michael S. Roscoe, PhD, PA-C, DFAAPA, director of simulation at Indiana University School of Medicine–Evansville, adjunct professor at the University of Lynchburg, and PAEA president-elect. Together, they explore the critical impact of military service on physician assistant education and the creation of the Veterans Educators and Allies in PA Education special interest group. The discussion highlights the unique strengths veterans bring to PA programs—such as leadership, resilience, and a strong work ethic—and emphasizes the importance of recognizing military experience in admissions, advocating for policy reform, and creating more inclusive pathways for those who’ve served.
