PA students are represented through the AAPA Student Academy delegation and participate directly in the policymaking process.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">Kane was selected through a competitive national application process and elected by the AAPA Student Academy Board of Directors to represent PA students from across the country.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">\u201cBeing elected to the AAPA House of Delegates Student Delegation is an incredible honor,\u201d said Kane. \u201cI am excited to represent Chapman University and work alongside student leaders from across the country to help shape the future of the PA profession. This opportunity will allow me to grow as a leader while advocating for students and patients on a national level.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<h3>Representing PA Students on a National Stage<\/h3>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-5493 alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.chapman.edu\/crean\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/75\/2026\/09\/marah-kane1-279x300.jpeg\" alt=\"Marah Kane learning in a PA lab.\" width=\"279\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.chapman.edu\/crean\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/75\/2026\/09\/marah-kane1-279x300.jpeg 279w, https:\/\/blogs.chapman.edu\/crean\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/75\/2026\/09\/marah-kane1.jpeg 683w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 279px) 100vw, 279px\" \/>Kane\u2019s term runs from July 2026 through June 2027. Throughout the year, she will collaborate with fellow student delegates, review proposed resolutions and participate in discussions surrounding issues that affect PA education, clinical practice and the advancement of the profession.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">Her term will culminate at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.aapa.org\/events\/\">AAPA 2027<\/a>, held May 21\u201325, 2027, in Phoenix, Arizona. The House of Delegates will convene May 21\u201323 during the annual conference. Student delegates form one of the largest delegations to the HOD, providing PA students with a direct voice in discussions and decisions affecting their future profession.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">\u201cMarah\u2019s election to the AAPA House of Delegates Student Delegation is a tremendous achievement and a reflection of the leadership, initiative and professionalism she has already demonstrated as a first-year PA student,\u201d said Dr. Michael Burney, Program Director of Chapman University\u2019s Physician Assistant Program. \u201cThe Student Academy selected some of the most engaged and promising PA students from programs across the nation, and we are proud that Marah will represent Chapman University among this distinguished group. Her passion for service, advocacy and collaboration will make her an outstanding voice for PA students.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<h3>A Commitment to Leadership and Service<\/h3>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-5494 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.chapman.edu\/crean\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/75\/2026\/09\/marah-kane2-225x300.jpeg\" alt=\"Group Photo of PA students in Scrubs at Rinker campus.\" width=\"261\" height=\"348\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.chapman.edu\/crean\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/75\/2026\/09\/marah-kane2-225x300.jpeg 225w, https:\/\/blogs.chapman.edu\/crean\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/75\/2026\/09\/marah-kane2.jpeg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 261px) 100vw, 261px\" \/>Kane currently serves as Social Chair for the Chapman PA Student Society Class of 2027, helping organize fundraising initiatives and activities that build community among her classmates.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">Her connection to Chapman began well before PA school. Kane earned her <a href=\"https:\/\/www.chapman.edu\/crean\/index.aspx\">Bachelor of Science in Health Sciences with a minor in Psychology from Chapman University<\/a> in 2024. As an undergraduate, she held leadership roles with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/kesematchapman\/\">Kesem, a national organization supporting children whose parents have been affected by cancer<\/a>; Order of Omega, the national Greek honor society; and the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/chapmanuswimdive\/reels\/\">Chapman University Swim Team.<\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">Before returning to Chapman for graduate school, Kane spent a gap year building hands-on healthcare experience as a physical therapy aide, home health aide and urgent care medical assistant. Those experiences further strengthened her interest in patient care and prepared her for graduate medical education.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">Now, as both a Chapman alumna and PA student, Kane is taking her commitment to service beyond campus. Her election reflects the broader mission of Chapman\u2019s PA program to prepare compassionate, collaborative healthcare professionals who are ready to contribute to their communities and the profession. For Kane, the opportunity provides an early start to national leadership, allowing her to bring the perspective of Chapman PA students to important conversations shaping the future of the profession.<\/p>\n<h4><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-5496 aligncenter\"
