Welcome to the Duke Physician Assistant Surgical Residency Program and to Durham, North Carolina, birthplace of the physician assistant profession. The PA Profession originated at Duke in the mid 1960s. Dr. Eugene A. Stead, Jr., then Chairman of the Department of Medicine, believed that physician assistants could increase consumer access to health services by extending the time and skills of the physician. His vision, guidance, and influence were instrumental in founding the Duke PA Program which continues to flourish as one of the premier PA training programs in the country.
