In honor of PA Appreciation Week (observed Oct. 6-12 each year), the October episode of MedBoard Matters takes a look at one of the state's fastest-growing groups of medical professionals - physician assistants.

NCMB Communications Director and podcast host Jean Fisher Brinkley talks with Molly Calabria, PA-C (President) and Meg Beal, MMS, PA-C (President-Elect) of the North Carolina Academy of Physician Assistants about their backgrounds, educational journeys, history of the PA profession, and more.

Give it a listen - bet you learn something you didn't know about PAs!
