She is currently a doctoral candidate in gerontology at UNMC.<\/p>\n<p>\nVanderMeulen said that she has learned a lot from watching past presidents of the association.<\/p>\n<p>\n&quot;I&#039;ve been able to observe pieces of each president&#039;s leadership style to help shape my own,&quot; she said.<\/p>\n<p>\nBut she added that she doesn&#039;t see herself as being in charge.<\/p>\n<p>\n&quot;For me it&#039;s not a hierarchal position. I&#039;m truly just facilitating the work of the group.&quot;<\/p>\n<p>\nPAEA&#039;s members elected VanderMeulen as the 2015 president in 2013; she spent 2014 in the role of president elect. Next year she&#039;ll serve as immediate past president.<\/p>\n<p>\nHer PAEA presidency will bring an additional workload, but VanderMeulen is excited for what lies ahead in the coming year.<\/p>\n<p>\n&quot;The PA profession is poised to really set itself apart in ways that it hasn&#039;t been able to before,&quot; she said.<\/p>\n<p>\n&quot;We&#039;re heading to great places; it&#039;s just a matter of holding on for the ride.&quot;<\/p>\n<p>\nEstablished in 1972, PAEA is the only national organization in the United States representing PA educational programs. Its mission is to pursue excellence, foster faculty development, advance the body of knowledge that defines quality education and patient-centered care, and promote diversity in all aspects of PA education.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Here are the news
