MEDEX students play a very important and active role in student government. Our students begin the process early in the didactic year by running for class offices. Students involved at both the state and national level. Students represent MEDEX at Washington Association of Physician Assistants (WAPA) and the Student Academy of the American Association of Physician Assistants (SAAPA). The student officers from all three sites (Seattle, Yakima, and Spokane) work together as a team and provide leadership at their respective sites

Elected representatives for MEDEX in 2007-2008 were voted into office by their peers. Grace Landel, MEd, PA-C, Associate Director for MEDEX, is very involved in the education, mentoring and, growth of MEDEX student government at the national and local level. MEDEX class officers are provided group training and meet together to discuss leadership and community services projects. Students will be coordinating fundraising opportunities this year including the sale of apparel and gift baskets to support student functions as well as community services projects.
Please support them when you have a chance.

For more information about upcoming events and news items for this year’s student government please continue to watch the MEDEX Northwest website. Updates are posted regularly.
