Campbell University’s Physician Assistant program recently held the Campbell PA Networking Luncheon & Post-Grad Fair during second-year students’ Transition to Practice Week. Supported by a Campbell Hallmarks mini-grant, the event focused on helping students explore meaningful, mission-driven pathways as they prepare for life after graduation.
The event featured presentations from Franklin Walker, executive director of the North Carolina Medical Society Foundation, who oversees the Community Practitioner Loan Repayment Program, and Clint Cresawn of Kintegra Health, a federally qualified health center serving communities across North Carolina. Students also received a comprehensive overview of PA fellowship opportunities led by program faculty.
Following the morning sessions, students participated in a networking luncheon and a post-graduate fair and expo highlighting doctoral programs, fellowships, research opportunities, and loan repayment options. The event reflected Campbell’s Hallmarks by fostering character, encouraging initiative, and supporting students as they discern their professional calling through service and purpose.
