​Gazang Abdulla, Physician Assistant Student
​Co-founder/Director
PCOM Georgia
​
I am a first-generation Kurdish-American born and raised in Fairfield, CT. I completed my undergraduate degree at Hofstra University in 2019. After graduating, I took a gap year and worked as a medical assistant in a primary care office in order to gain some experience and clinical hours for PA school. Presently, I am a first year PA student at PCOM GA in Suwanee, GA. I am the diversity chair for my class as well as a student ambassador for our program and an active member of our school surgery club.

Pre-PA Student


I received my BA in Psychology with an emphasis in behavioral and cognitive neuroscience at the University of Florida.  After graduation, I took a year off to gain patient care experience as a nursing assistant, which solidified my desire to work in healthcare and play a larger role in patient care. I am working towards my master’s degree in Physician Assistant Studies at South University in Tampa, class of 2025.  I dream of empowering Kurdish communities locally and abroad.
