The international growth of the physician assistant/associate (PA) profession provides opportunities for global exchange that PA faculty and clinicians should seek out and cultivate. Physician assistant/associate programs can benefit from the experiences and expertise of faculty educators from different backgrounds and countries. The Fulbright International Scholars Program is a well-established and recognized organization dedicated to supporting international exchange in higher education. This study describes the experience of an American PA who received a Fulbright Specialist Program award that provided the opportunity to collaborate with a Dutch PA program on improvement of their geriatric medicine didactic curriculum.
