Jordyn Green, motivated by an emergency room visit with her father, has committed to becoming a Physician Assistant. After receiving encouragement from a PA during that visit, she pursued this path and recently graduated with her class after completing a 27-month program at Weill Cornell Medicine. The program includes diverse clinical rotations, aligning with Green's broad interests in fields such as obstetrics and gynecology. During the commencement ceremony, the program director emphasized the significance of the white coat as a symbol of commitment and purpose in the healthcare profession.
"That was the deciding moment for me," said Green, 23, a Westchester County, New York, native and graduate of the University of Texas, Austin.
"I like that there is the opportunity for PAs to explore different fields," said Green, noting that she's particularly interested in obstetrics and gynecology, dermatology and participating in surgery rotations.
"Perhaps the coat represents your commitment to humanism, to helping underserved communities and to patient advocacy," said Porta.
"You each have a purpose, a reason for working so hard for this profession," said Porta.
