  • Congratulations to our Member of the Month, Adam DeMey, MS, PA-C. Adam has been a PA for 12 years, receiving his Master's degree from Seton Hall University in 2011. After graduating, he first started in the emergency department where he learned and gained the knowledge and experience in many procedures. While he enjoyed his time in the ED, he followed his passion for being a surgical PA in which he has been practicing for more than half of his career. Adam is currently practicing at the Center for Trauma and Critical Care at George Washington University. Here he has the opportunity to work with APP and medical students, APP fellows, and surgical residents where he has the opportunity to teach numerous trauma skills and bedside procedures. He has a passion to inspire providers to learn through a combination of didactic and hands-on experiences, and to help guide pre-PA students through the process of pursuing their future goals in medicine and surgery.
