The Annual Master Project Symposium of the Department of Physician Assistant Studies of Wake Forest University School of Medicine will be held on Friday, April 4, 2008 from 7:30 am to 4:30 pm on the Bowman Gray Campus of the Wake Forest University School of Medicine. The Master Project Symposium is a showcase for the two year research investment made by Physician Assistant (PA) students. The Symposium consists of a Keynote Address, concurrent student presentations, and a poster exhibit. The poster presentations will be available for review and the investigators will be present to answer questions regarding their projects. The Master Project experience contributes significantly to the development of our Physician Assistant students who will graduate May 19, 2008. The University is very excited about this event and proud of the work completed by the candidates in the Class of 2008 for the Master of Medical Science Degree.

Lisa Huggins Oxendine wrote and published, The Pink Begonia Sister’s Caribbean Retreat, the story of three Native American women from southeastern North Carolina who turn 40 and deal with breast cancer before deciding to live differently in the Caribbean. In 2008, Lisa’s goal is – Pink Begonias around the world, a project to increase reading, sharing, and the feeling of community around the world. The project encourages folks to read and share a story with a message which can positively influence lives. Lisa earned a BS and MAEd degree from UNC-Pembroke and a Physician Assistant Certificate from Wake Forest University School of Medicine. In 2007, Lisa “retired” from medicine to pursue writing full-time.
