Kansas State University Physician Assistant Program

🌟 Student Spotlight: Parker El-Attrache 🌟

We're excited to introduce Parker El-Attrache, a member of the Kansas State University Physician Assistant Class of 2028! We're proud to highlight the talented students who make our program so special.

About me: Hey yall! My name is Parker El-Attrache. I moved around growing up from Georgia, around Texas, and eventually ended up in Olathe, KS! Walking my dog, Goose, is my favorite thing to do after class. I love to travel, golf, go to concerts, and be crafty when I can.

Education: I graduated from KSU in 2022 with a BS in psychology and life sciences, and a minor in leadership studies. I love that I’ve been able to continue my education here at kstate. EMAW!

Plans after becoming a PA: Before PA school, I worked as a medical assistant at Johnson County Orthopedics. I truly hope I find my way back to working there as a PA. I am also interested in urology, women’s health, and loved our endocrine unit so far!

Fun fact: I love to cook, experiment in the kitchen, and make something out of nothing. It would be amazing to travel and try authentic cuisine all over the world!

This Nurses Week, the K-State PA Program is incredibly grateful for the nurses who make a difference every single day. Your dedication to collaboration, compassionate patient care, and teamwork inspires our students, staff, and faculty. You are at the heart of what makes healthcare truly meaningful—and we are so thankful for all that you do. 💜
