In this episode, host Emma Sellers, MS, speaks with Denise Rizzolo, PhD, MPH, PA-C, Director of Research and Publication at the Physician Assistant Education Association and managing editor of the Journal of PA Education. Dr. Rizzolo shares her professional journey and explores how PA students and faculty can get involved in research at any stage of their careers. She underscores the importance of early exposure, strong mentorship, and starting with manageable projects to build confidence and momentum. The conversation also highlights the wide range of research opportunities available to PAs—from clinical practice and public health to the pharmaceutical industry—and introduces the JPAE Podcast as a resource designed to make research more approachable and less intimidating for the PA community.
