Introducing…
Perry Tanner, PA-S, Class of 2023
SGA Vice President

Hometown: Dublin, GA

Education: Bachelor of Exercise and Sport Science, University of Georgia

Specialties I’m Interested In: Dermatology, Women's Health, Cardiology, Hematology/Oncology

Fun Fact: I auditioned for Broadway when I was 10!

Why I wanted to become a PA: One of the main reasons I wanted to be a PA is because I know how scary and daunting going to the doctor's office can be for some. I want to be the calming and approachable presence that can put people at ease, and I'm looking forward to having a more personable relationship with my patients.

Advice: Prioritize school and studying, but also prioritize the things that make you happy! Despite what you may think, there is always time for both. Make sure to take the opportunity to get outside whenever you can and explore areas around Atlanta. Dedicate time to getting to know your classmates - they will be your support system throughout PA school!

Introducing…
Samantha Williams, PA-S, Class of 2023

Hometown: West Haverstraw, NY

Education: Bachelor of Science in Biobehavioral Health, Pennsylvania State University

Specialties I’m Interested In: OBGYN and Emergency Medicine

Fun Fact: I got a mini poodle puppy during Q4 of PA school

Why I wanted to become a PA: I have wanted to work in the medical field since forever and once I learned about the PA profession I felt like it was an easy decision. After working as an MA for 3 years in OBGYN, I realized the impact PAs could have on patients and I wanted to be that person.

Advice: Remember to enjoy your life so you don’t burn out, and PA school is much easier with a group of friends to help and support you!
