Janina Bukowski, PA-C
Janina attended undergraduate college at Virginia Polytechnic Institute, initially as an engineering major but soon realized she had a strong interest in biology and medicine. After college, she moved from Virginia to Boston and applied for a research position at Dana Farber Cancer Institute, it is here that she was introduced to the PA profession. Janina graduated from Northeastern University’s PA program and following graduation worked with the severely mentally ill as a primary care medicine PA for 17 years. Following this experience, she changed her specialty to work as a PA on the schizophrenia service at Johns Hopkins Hospital. For the past five years, she has enjoyed her calling as a psychiatric PA at St. Joseph’s Medical Center.
Why the PALLA fellowship? Janina states: “I want to share my love of medicine and psychiatry with other like-minded students and mid-level clinicians. My goal is to develop my own general psychiatry fellowship in order to encourage others to enter this enormously gratifying field.”
