Ali
Hello
Everyone,
My name is Sabahat Ali, and I have the honor of serving you as the director
of diversity for 2008-2009. Diversity has always been important to me,
whether is was discussing my culture and religion in school or learning
about a patient’s culture to better treat them. I hope to continue
the work of those before me by continuing to provide PA students across
the country with access to information about cultural issues that are
important to us. Not only issues that affect how we treat patients,
but also issues of diversity within the profession itself. I believe
that open dialog is the key to fostering a diverse environment for everyone.
I look forward to working with you in the upcoming year. Please feel
free to email me with any comments or questions.
Sincerely,
Sabahat Ali
