What it says it does
Our mission is to bridge the gap between undergraduate studies and physician associate/assistant (PA) school while providing the convenience of a centralized platform where pre-PAs can form a community amongst themselves and experienced professionals. In addition to forming an inclusive and diverse pre-PA community, we aim to offer affordable resources and beneficial opportunities to help enhance the CASPA application process and increase our members' chances of getting into PA school. Current opportunities include: community service events, campus tours, preparation workshops, mentorship programs, and more. Anyone ranging from current students to graduates can join to learn about the profession. We currently reside in Southern California but hope to expand outward as our organization grows.

Governance
This organization files the short tax form, which does not ask about boards, policies or audits. That is normal for a small charity and is not a mark against it.
