I had the opportunity to present on Pre-PA panel [&#8220;What I Wish I Had Known&#8221;] and offered advice based on my experiences so far, which included remembering why you want to be a PA, knowing just what the end goal is, and recognizing that each of us has our own individual story that brought us here. Chasing after perspective, I also focused on attending CMEs that taught me something I couldn\u2019t learn in a text book, learning about leadership, vulnerability, patient experiences, and how to do our best to serve all. As MEDEX Seattle&#8217;s alternate Student Academy Representative (SAR), I was most inspired by engaging with those on the student board. Each person has a beautiful story that brought them to this profession. I left Houston with a greater confidence in myself and what I bring to the profession, and with a greater passion to teach others and share my story and to help encourage those who are &#8220;first gens,&#8221; like myself, who didn\u2019t have much support and met many barriers on their path to get here. I&#8217;m very optimistic and excited going into my clinical year, and to see where I take myself in this career in the next year.<\/p>\n<div class=\"row\"  id=\"row-934628289\">\n\n\n\t<div id=\"col-1573868598\" class=\"col medium-6 small-12 large-6\"  >\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"col-inner\"  >\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\n\t<div class=\"box has-hover   has-hover box-text-bottom\" >\n\n\t\t<div class=\"box-image\" style=\"width:80%;\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"\" >\n\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1168\" height=\"1576\" src=\"https:\/\/familymedicine.uw.edu\/medex\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2024\/05\/Screenshot-2024-05-31-at-1.09.41-PM.png\" class=\"attachment- size-\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/familymedicine.uw.edu\/medex\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2024\/05\/Screenshot-2024-05-31-at-1.09.41-PM.png 1168w, https:\/\/familymedicine.uw.edu\/medex\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2024\/05\/Screenshot-2024-05-31-at-1.09.41-PM-222x300.png 222w, https:\/\/familymedicine.uw.edu\/medex\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2024\/05\/Screenshot-2024-05-31-at-1.09.41-PM-759x1024.png 759w, https:\/\/familymedicine.uw.edu\/medex\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2024\/05\/Screenshot-2024-05-31-at-1.09.41-PM-768x1036.png 768w, https:\/\/familymedicine.uw.edu\/medex\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2024\/05\/Screenshot-2024-05-31-at-1.09.41-PM-1138x1536.png 1138w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1168px) 100vw, 1168px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t<div class=\"box-text text-center\" >\n\t\t\t<div class=\"box-text-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t\n\n<p>(l to r) AAPA Student Academy officers: Brittny Dawkins (President Elect), Patrice Farquarson (mid-Atlantic regional director), Brianna Kraft (Seattle 57, MEDEX SAR alternate) and Ana Ahmad (Western Regional Director).\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\t\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\n\n\t<div id=\"col-1784896673\" class=\"col medium-6 small-12 large-6\"  >\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"col-inner\"  >\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\n\t<div class=\"box has-hover   has-hover box-text-bottom\" >\n\n\t\t<div class=\"box-image\" style=\"width:80%;\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"\" >\n\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1130\" height=\"1572\" src=\"https:\/\/familymedicine.uw.edu\/medex\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2024\/05\/Screenshot-2024-05-31-at-1.09.15-PM.png\" class=\"attachment- size-\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/familymedicine.uw.edu\/medex\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2024\/05\/Screenshot-2024-05-31-at-1.09.15-PM.png 1130w, https:\/\/familymedicine.uw.edu\/medex\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2024\/05\/Screenshot-2024-05-31-at-1.09.15-PM-216x300.png 216w, https:\/\/familymedicine.uw.edu\/medex\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2024\/05\/Screenshot-2024-05-31-at-1.09.15-PM-736x1024.png 736w, https:\/\/familymedicine.uw.edu\/medex\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2024\/05\/Screenshot-2024-05-31-at-1.09.15-PM-768x1068.png 768w, https:\/\/familymedicine.uw.edu\/medex\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2024\/05\/Screenshot-2024-05-31-at-1.09.15-PM-1104x1536.png 1104w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1130px) 100vw, 1130px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t<div class=\"box-text text-center\" >\n\t\t\t<div class=\"box-text-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t\n\n<h4>(l to r) Daytheon Sturges (MEDEX faculty) and Brianna Kraft (Seattle 57).<\/h4>\n\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\t\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\n\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"text-center\"><div class=\"is-divider divider clearfix\" style=\"max-width:900px;background-color:rgb(21, 1, 1);\"><\/div><\/div>\n\n<p><strong>Amanda Lugo, Tacoma Class 11<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>AAPA was a refreshing experience for me.

Let me start with some honesty: I would have never attended this conference if it hadn&#8217;t been held in Houston, my hometown. However, now that I&#8217;ve attended, I understand the significance of participating in such events. I&#8217;m more excited about my profession than ever before! The theme, &#8220;PAs: Out of this World,&#8221; was fitting, especially with an astronaut PA as the keynote speaker. The sessions I attended were informative and I received vital resources to add to my toolkit for patient care.\u00a0 During my time at the expo, I was able to network with a variety of PA organizations, and learn about employment opportunities, scholarships, and a plethora of drug reps. My only criticism was the relative lack of mental health sessions. Still, I give the conference a 10\/10. All PAs should experience this event, and I am excited about next year&#8217;s conference!

I was able to attend multiple fascinating lectures each day, make new connections with multiple MEDEX alumni, and learn more about what clinical rotations and practice will look like. The highlights of lectures that I attended included: deep space infections and where to be on the lookout for red flags (a fresh take\/new perspective on red flag symptoms), neurological emergencies and how they present in real life (awesome look into the material that we&#8217;re learning in class right now), a review on malpractice cases (it was a great exercise on thinking what I would do and a reminder to be thorough in practice or charting), and current research and treatment in migraine (which tied in really well to what I&#8217;m working on for my capstone paper).\u00a0<\/div>\n<div>\u00a0<\/div>\n<div class=\"elementToProof\">One highlight was getting to meet with Stephen Willis, a PA in endocrinology and a MEDEX alum (Spokane Class 10) who works in Spokane. We met at WAPA this year and got to connect at multiple points during AAPA. It was also a great pleasure to get to reconnect with MEDEX students from other campuses who I only saw briefly during orientation week or hadn&#8217;t previously met, and to get to learn from PA students from other programs as well. Attending AAPA was a great way to reflect on my current place in PA school and to get a better understanding of what I&#8217;ll be doing in clinical rotations and in practice.<\/div>\n<div>\u00a0<\/div>\n<div class=\"elementToProof\">Oh, and the food in Texas was incredible too!\u00a0<\/div>\n\t<div id=\"gap-41727216\" class=\"gap-element clearfix\" style=\"display:block; height:auto;\">\n\t\t\n<style>\n#gap-41727216 {\n  padding-top: 30px;\n}\n<\/style>\n\t<\/div>\n\t\n\n<div class=\"row\"  id=\"row-812916406\">\n\n\n\t<div id=\"col-1501318095\" class=\"col medium-6 small-12 large-6\"  >\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"col-inner\"  >\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\n\t<div class=\"box has-hover   has-hover box-text-bottom\" >\n\n\t\t<div class=\"box-image\" style=\"width:80%;\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"\" >\n\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1920\" height=\"2560\" src=\"https:\/\/familymedicine.uw.edu\/medex\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2024\/05\/Chris-Roach-AAPA-pic-1-scaled.jpg\" class=\"attachment- size-\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/familymedicine.uw.edu\/medex\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2024\/05\/Chris-Roach-AAPA-pic-1-scaled.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/familymedicine.uw.edu\/medex\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2024\/05\/Chris-Roach-AAPA-pic-1-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/familymedicine.uw.edu\/medex\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2024\/05\/Chris-Roach-AAPA-pic-1-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/familymedicine.uw.edu\/medex\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2024\/05\/Chris-Roach-AAPA-pic-1-1152x1536.jpg 1152w, https:\/\/familymedicine.uw.edu\/medex\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2024\/05\/Chris-Roach-AAPA-pic-1-1536x2048.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t<div class=\"box-text text-center\" >\n\t\t\t<div class=\"box-text-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t\n\n<h4>(l to r) Chris Roach (Seattle 57), Rob Protzman (Kona 4), Scarlet Nordholm (Tacoma 11), Amanda Lugo (Tacoma 11), and Brianna Kraft (Seattle 57).<\/h4>\n\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\t\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\n\n\t<div id=\"col-1785268180\" class=\"col medium-6 small-12 large-6\"  >\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"col-inner\"  >\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\n\t<div class=\"box has-hover   has-hover box-text-bottom\" >\n\n\t\t<div class=\"box-image\" style=\"width:80%;\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"\" >\n\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1920\" height=\"2560\" src=\"https:\/\/familymedicine.uw.edu\/medex\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2024\/05\/Chris-Roach-AAPA-Pic-2-scaled.jpg\" class=\"attachment- size-\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/familymedicine.uw.edu\/medex\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2024\/05\/Chris-Roach-AAPA-Pic-2-scaled.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/familymedicine.uw.edu\/medex\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2024\/05\/Chris-Roach-AAPA-Pic-2-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/familymedicine.uw.edu\/medex\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2024\/05\/Chris-Roach-AAPA-Pic-2-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/familymedicine.uw.edu\/medex\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2024\/05\/Chris-Roach-AAPA-Pic-2-1152x1536.jpg 1152w, https:\/\/familymedicine.uw.edu\/medex\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2024\/05\/Chris-Roach-AAPA-Pic-2-1536x2048.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t<div class=\"box-text text-center\" >\n\t\t\t<div class=\"box-text-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t\n\n<h4>Did I mention the food?<\/h4>\n\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\t\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\n\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"text-center\"><div class=\"is-divider divider clearfix\" style=\"max-width:900px;background-color:rgb(12, 0, 0);\"><\/div><\/div>\n\n<p><strong>Astiana Stults, Tacoma Class 11<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I saw attending AAPA 2024 as another facet of my PA education and overall MEDEX experience. This was my first time attending a professional conference, so I tried to be a sponge and take it all in, attending as many lectures and networking events as possible. The enthusiastic energy of the other attendees, be they fellow students\u00a0or seasoned physician assistants, was infectious. My favorite lecture was all about pediatric growth plate injuries, which included an overview of leg lengthening surgery! Another highlight was participating in iScan, an ultrasound workshop and competition put on by the Society of Point of Care Ultrasound (SPOCUS). At this event I was put on a team with other PA students&#8211;my team included both didactic and clinical year students from Iowa and Michigan&#8211;and we rotated through different stations getting hands-on experience. I got to scan a kidney, perform a FAST exam, interpret an echocardiogram, and model for the musculoskeletal section. Overall, I learned a ton, made some great connections, and possibly even found avenues for putting together an ultrasound demo at my home campus of Tacoma. Attending AAPA 2024 has excited me even more for my upcoming clinical rotations and everything I will learn from PAs and other providers working out in the community. Oh, and hanging out in a Texas-shaped lazy river wasn&#8217;t too bad either!<\/p>\n<div class=\"row\"  id=\"row-803808176\">\n\n\n\t<div id=\"col-1901073241\" class=\"col medium-6 small-12 large-6\"  >\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"col-inner\"  >\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\n\t<div class=\"box has-hover   has-hover box-text-bottom\" >\n\n\t\t<div class=\"box-image\" >\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"\" >\n\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2560\" height=\"2204\" src=\"https:\/\/familymedicine.uw.edu\/medex\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2024\/05\/Astiana-AAPA-photo-2-scaled.jpg\" class=\"attachment- size-\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/familymedicine.uw.edu\/medex\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2024\/05\/Astiana-AAPA-photo-2-scaled.jpg 2560w, https:\/\/familymedicine.uw.edu\/medex\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2024\/05\/Astiana-AAPA-photo-2-300x258.jpg 300w, https:\/\/familymedicine.uw.edu\/medex\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2024\/05\/Astiana-AAPA-photo-2-1024x882.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/familymedicine.uw.edu\/medex\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2024\/05\/Astiana-AAPA-photo-2-768x661.jpg 768w, https:\/\/familymedicine.uw.edu\/medex\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2024\/05\/Astiana-AAPA-photo-2-1536x1323.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/familymedicine.uw.edu\/medex\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2024\/05\/Astiana-AAPA-photo-2-2048x1763.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t<div class=\"box-text text-center\" >\n\t\t\t<div class=\"box-text-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t\n\n<h4>(l to r) Madi Arndt (Tacoma 11), An Astronaut, Astiana Stults (Tacoma 11)<\/h4>\n\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\t\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\n\n\t<div id=\"col-750025\" class=\"col medium-6 small-12 large-6\"  >\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"col-inner\"  >\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\n\t<div class=\"box has-hover   has-hover box-text-bottom\" >\n\n\t\t<div class=\"box-image\" style=\"width:86%;\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"\" >\n\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1126\" height=\"1127\" src=\"https:\/\/familymedicine.uw.edu\/medex\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2024\/05\/Astiana-AAPA-Photo-1.jpg\" class=\"attachment- size-\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/familymedicine.uw.edu\/medex\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2024\/05\/Astiana-AAPA-Photo-1.jpg 1126w, https:\/\/familymedicine.uw.edu\/medex\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2024\/05\/Astiana-AAPA-Photo-1-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/familymedicine.uw.edu\/medex\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2024\/05\/Astiana-AAPA-Photo-1-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/familymedicine.uw.edu\/medex\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2024\/05\/Astiana-AAPA-Photo-1-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/familymedicine.uw.edu\/medex\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2024\/05\/Astiana-AAPA-Photo-1-768x769.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1126px) 100vw, 1126px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t<div class=\"box-text text-center\" >\n\t\t\t<div class=\"box-text-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t\n\n<h4>Astiana Stults (Tacoma 11) participating in iScan ultrasound workshop and competition<\/h4>\n\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\t\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\n\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"text-center\"><div class=\"is-divider divider clearfix\" style=\"max-width:900px;background-color:rgb(15, 1, 1);\"><\/div><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"elementToProof\"><strong><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-24786 size-medium alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/familymedicine.uw.edu\/medex\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2024\/05\/Katie-Walker-AAPA-pic-2-300x122.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"122\" srcset=\"https:\/\/familymedicine.uw.edu\/medex\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2024\/05\/Katie-Walker-AAPA-pic-2-300x122.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/familymedicine.uw.edu\/medex\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2024\/05\/Katie-Walker-AAPA-pic-2-1024x416.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/familymedicine.uw.edu\/medex\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2024\/05\/Katie-Walker-AAPA-pic-2-768x312.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/familymedicine.uw.edu\/medex\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2024\/05\/Katie-Walker-AAPA-pic-2-1536x625.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/familymedicine.uw.edu\/medex\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2024\/05\/Katie-Walker-AAPA-pic-2-2048x833.jpeg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/>Katie Walker, Seattle Class 57<\/strong><\/div>\n<div>\u00a0<\/div>\n<div class=\"elementToProof\">I thoroughly enjoyed the AAPA national conference in Houston. Given that this was my first time at the event, I really tried to pack my schedule so I could make the most of the experience! I attended educational sessions and skills workshops that ranged from lab medicine to health equity to dermoscopy, sat in on the House of Delegates and several expert panels, and got helpful information on clinical rotations, studying for the PANCE, and first job negotiation and preparation. I am hopeful for and inspired by the innovative research, medications, and procedures that were presented, and I am truly in awe of Hayley Arceneaux and Serena Au\u00f1\u00f3n-Chancellor after learning about their work in aerospace medicine. Throw in some fun opportunities to unwind with friends and colleagues in a new city and I would definitely rate this experience as five stars!<\/div>\n<div>\u00a0<\/div>\n<div>Admittedly, it was really nice to take a mini-break from classes, but my favorite part of the conference was connecting with so many new people in our profession. It was refreshing and exciting to hear stories from those whose PA path is different than mine. I interacted with students at other PA schools, new and experienced practicing clinicians, PA educators, and staff from multiple professional organizations, but it was especially enjoyable to meet MEDEX students from the other campuses who have mostly been boxes on Zoom up to this point!<\/div>\n<div>\u00a0<\/div>\n<div class=\"elementToProof\">Whether you\u2019re looking for CME, networking, job prospects, or free swag from drug reps, the AAPA conference really is a great experience with something for everyone. I highly recommend that all students and PAs attend, and I hope to see you in Denver next year!<\/div>\n\t<div id=\"gap-121214990\" class=\"gap-element clearfix\" style=\"display:block; height:auto;\">\n\t\t\n<style>\n#gap-121214990 {\n  padding-top: 30px;\n}\n<\/style>\n\t<\/div>\n\t\n\n<div class=\"row\"  id=\"row-362010921\">\n\n\n\t<div id=\"col-952385985\" class=\"col medium-6 small-12 large-6\"  >\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"col-inner\"  >\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\n\t<div class=\"box has-hover   has-hover box-text-bottom\" >\n\n\t\t<div class=\"box-image\" >\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"\" >\n\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1920\" src=\"https:\/\/familymedicine.uw.edu\/medex\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2024\/05\/Katie-Walker-AAPA-Pic-1-scaled.jpeg\" class=\"attachment- size-\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/familymedicine.uw.edu\/medex\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2024\/05\/Katie-Walker-AAPA-Pic-1-scaled.jpeg 2560w, https:\/\/familymedicine.uw.edu\/medex\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2024\/05\/Katie-Walker-AAPA-Pic-1-300x225.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/familymedicine.uw.edu\/medex\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2024\/05\/Katie-Walker-AAPA-Pic-1-1024x768.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/familymedicine.uw.edu\/medex\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2024\/05\/Katie-Walker-AAPA-Pic-1-768x576.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/familymedicine.uw.edu\/medex\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2024\/05\/Katie-Walker-AAPA-Pic-1-1536x1152.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/familymedicine.uw.edu\/medex\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2024\/05\/Katie-Walker-AAPA-Pic-1-2048x1536.jpeg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t<div class=\"box-text text-center\" >\n\t\t\t<div class=\"box-text-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t\n\n<h4>(l to r) Katie Walker (Seattle 57), Chris Roach (Seattle 57), Bri Kraft (Seattle 57), and Daytheon Sturges (MEDEX faculty)<\/h4>\n\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\t\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\n\n\t<div id=\"col-1763371298\" class=\"col medium-6 small-12 large-6\"  >\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"col-inner\"  >\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\n\t<div class=\"box has-hover   has-hover box-text-bottom\" >\n\n\t\t<div class=\"box-image\" style=\"width:75%;\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"\" >\n\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2560\" height=\"2560\" src=\"https:\/\/familymedicine.uw.edu\/medex\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2024\/05\/Katie-Walker-AAPA-pic-3-scaled.jpeg\" class=\"attachment- size-\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/familymedicine.uw.edu\/medex\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2024\/05\/Katie-Walker-AAPA-pic-3-scaled.jpeg 2560w, https:\/\/familymedicine.uw.edu\/medex\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2024\/05\/Katie-Walker-AAPA-pic-3-300x300.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/familymedicine.uw.edu\/medex\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2024\/05\/Katie-Walker-AAPA-pic-3-1024x1024.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/familymedicine.uw.edu\/medex\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2024\/05\/Katie-Walker-AAPA-pic-3-150x150.jpeg 150w, https:\/\/familymedicine.uw.edu\/medex\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2024\/05\/Katie-Walker-AAPA-pic-3-768x768.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/familymedicine.uw.edu\/medex\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2024\/05\/Katie-Walker-AAPA-pic-3-1536x1536.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/familymedicine.uw.edu\/medex\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2024\/05\/Katie-Walker-AAPA-pic-3-2048x2048.jpeg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t<div class=\"box-text text-center\" >\n\t\t\t<div class=\"box-text-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t\n\n<h4>Too many to name!
