The College of Pharmacy & Health Sciences at Campbell University will award professional degrees to 42 physician assistant (PA) students during its Physician Assistant Commencement Ceremony on Saturday, December 12.
The ceremony will take place at 3:00 p.m. in Turner Auditorium on Campbell’s main campus in Buies Creek. Reginald Carter, PhD, will give the keynote address.
Carter served on the Duke University Medical Center faculty for 34 years, holding joint appointments in the departments of cell biology and community and family medicine. Among his roles and responsibilities during that time was serving as division chief and program director of Duke’s PA program. He also helped establish the PA History Center at Duke and co-founded the Society for the Preservation of Physician Assistant History. He is the co-editor of the landmark book on PAs, “Alternatives in Health Care Delivery: Emerging Roles of Physician Assistants,” and is co-author of “Physician Assistants: An Illustrated History.”
