PASA – Sickle Cell Disease Guest Speakers

As part of Sickle Cell Awareness month, the physician assistant student association brought in three guest speakers who have lived with sickle cell disease their entire lives. They spoke about the social and career challenges that face those afflicted with the disease, addressed common myths about sickle cell disease and answered questions from students in attempts to create a more well-informed medical community.
