King's College PA Program: A History...
Exhibit by Monica Marinos-Thomas ‘09, Philip Sekunda ‘09, Bret Stemrich ‘09, King's College

A fantastic example of what PA students can do to educate themselves and others about the history of their program and PA History in general. King's College was generous enough to allow the PAHx Center put their project on the web as an example of what other programs might like to do to highlight their own program and it's place in the history of the profession.
