Jennifer Kim, PA-C
Jennifer attended Duke University for her undergraduate degree and completed her Masters in Medical Science degree from the Emory University Physician Assistant program in 1998. Since graduation, she has worked clinically in cardiac surgery as first assistant, then in critical care and now in step-down care. She has also worked in cardiology, adult surgical critical care, and pediatric medical critical care. Along the way, she completed her Master’s degree in Public Health from the Johns Hopkins University Bloomberg School of Public Health focusing on health across the lifespan, hoping to integrate a preventative medicine aspect to practice.
Why the PALLA fellowship?
Jennifer states: “Like any other field, professional development should be the priority for educating future PAs. Teachers should be constant learners to allow for continuing improvement as content, culture, and technology change. Programs like this will also provide the groundwork for gaining confidence, empathy and understanding of the social and emotional needs of students”
