Paul Bradford


Department: Physician Associate Education

I would love to have the opportunity to serve the CHS community on the Sabbatical and Educational Leave Committee. I have had a chance to get to know many WCU colleagues along with their amazing research interests and plans. I would be honored to carefully review submissions and to be a strong advocate for worthy proposals. I have experience serving on a faculty affairs committee at Thomas Jefferson University, prior to my time at WCU. I also served for 4 years reviewing nominations for national awards for the Physician Assistant Education Association and served on WCU’s 1871 Award Selection Committee. I appreciate your consideration of voting for me for this important position.
