PA WEEK 2024: Get to Know a PA - Cameron Powell, MPAS, PA-C

Happy PA Week!

OAPA is proud to join the PA and PA student community in Ohio and across the country in celebrating PA Week 2024.

This week, OAPA will post daily on our website and social media with PA news and opportunities, plus profiles of Ohio PAs. We will also be conducting an outreach to nonmember PAs in Ohio encouraging them to join OAPA. The stronger the Ohio PA community, the better chance we have at achieving our vision of Ohio as the premier state for PAs.

Get to Know a PA:
Cameron Powell, MPAS, PA-C

How long have you been a PA and what is your current role?

I have been a PA for 22 years. I work part-time in the Emergency Department at Mount Carmel St. Ann’s Hospital caring for the community of Westerville and surrounding areas. I’ve been at St. Ann’s my entire career. I also serve as Chair of the Health Science Division and Program Director for the PA Program at Ohio Dominican University, where I have worked for 12 years.

What is the most rewarding aspect of being a PA?

The most rewarding part, and the gift of this profession, is the opportunity to engage with the patients you serve. It is a privilege that patients trust PAs, and other health professionals, to care for them during some of their most difficulty times.

How are you celebrating PA Week?

Our ODU PA students have a lineup of various events to celebrate our great profession and promote PAs on our campus with our ODU community.
