ATSU-CCPA students volunteer at Santa Barbara County Public Health Back-to-School Health Fair

Central Coast Physician Assistant (CCPA) program students and faculty at A.T. Still University's College for Health Communities (ATSU-CHC) recently volunteered at the Santa Barbara County Public Health Back-to-School Health Fair, where they had the opportunity to engage with the community and provide valuable healthcare education.

Held annually, the fair is open to the public and provides families, students, and community members an opportunity to participate in health screenings, explore educational booths, and connect with local healthcare providers and social services organizations.

ATSU-CCPA students were able to share their recently learned knowledge with attendees, including crucial blood pressure information and guidance on sun protection, including how to choose the right sunscreen. In addition, students had the opportunity to shadow a physician assistant at the Santa Barbara County Clinic during recent back-to-school sports physicals.
