Why I Started This Brand
Why I Started This Brand
Welcome! My name is Rachel and I built Beyond the PA Name because I kept seeing the same thing happen, PAs showing up with skill, compassion, and grit, yet constantly having to explain their role or settle for being misunderstood. In the middle of all of that, there wasn’t much space for joy, identity, or encouragement that actually felt...well, real. In medicine, PAs contribute skill and compassion every day, yet there aren’t many spaces created just for us, celebrating what we bring to patient care.
As a PA myself, I know what it’s like to carry the emotional weight of the medical profession: the charting that follows you home, the tiny victories that no one else notices, the quiet moments of doubt, and the deep pride that comes from helping patients who may never remember your name but will always remember your care.
I wanted to create something that made PAs feel seen, supported, and occasionally be laugh-out-loud funny.
So I built a space that blends:
PA-positive apparel that reflects our identity with dignity, accuracy, and a little humor
Grounded encouragement for the days you need grounding more than hype
Tiny pep talks to help you feel less alone in the chaos of medicine (PAs, PA-Cs, PA-S)
Relatable content that validates the moments only PAs understand
Beyond the PA Name is more than merch or memes, it’s a community. A reminder that your title is powerful (whether Physician Assistant or Associate), but you are so much more.This brand celebrates your work and everything you are becoming.
Giving you a pep talk every single day,
Rachel
Founder, Beyond the PA Name
