This Friday and Saturday, the next MEDEX Northwest grads will walk across the stage and into the next big chapter of their lives. We are proud to announce the inaugural class of MEDEX students inducted into the Pi Alpha National Honor Society, who will be recognized at their respective graduation ceremonies. Pi Alpha is the national honor society for PA students, established by the PA Education Association (PAEA) in 2004. Its purpose is to promote and recognize notable academic achievement, leadership, research, and service among PA students and graduates.

Here are the 2025 MEDEX inductees:

ROW 1, L to R: Anchorage Class 15 – Andrea Hartman, Justin Lucia; Kona Class 4 – Angel Adams, Anna Larson-Dola, Kaleo Lee
ROW 2, L to R: Spokane Class 27 – Jack Hostetler, Severyn Westbrook, Matthias Wilson; Tacoma Class 11 – Nathan Peterson, Lynette Williams
ROW 3, L to R: Seattle Class 57 – Lizbeth Acevedo Morales, Michael Adeleye, Fatima Fareed, Clare Ghilarducci, Medina Glenn, Anna Green
ROW 4, L to R: Seattle Class 57 – Kelly McCarthy, Dylan Pearce, Christopher Roach, Divya Sajnani, Nicholas Stanton, Katie Walker

This first cohort of MEDEX students represents academic excellence and exemplary service across MEDEX campuses in Seattle, Tacoma, Spokane, Kona, and Anchorage. The inductees are recognized for their academic achievements as well as for their outstanding leadership and commitment to community health. This milestone aligns with the vision of MEDEX 2.0, which seeks to elevate the visibility of student excellence and reinforce our enduring commitment to leadership and service in primary care.

Induction into Pi Alpha is one of the highest honors in PA education, emphasizing the core values of scholarship, leadership, service, and advocacy. No more than 15% of a graduating class may be inducted into Pi Alpha, underscoring the exclusivity and prestige of this recognition.
