Two officer candidates graduated the Interservice Physician Assistant
Program (IPAP) and received their commission, Nov. 6, in a ceremony held at Winn Army Community Hospital (ACH) on Fort Stewart.
The IPAP Program Director recognized 1st Lt. Huon Sharpe and 1st Lt. Seth Ravid for their successful completion of the program.
Major Robert Dichiera, IPAP Phase II Clinical Coordinator at Winn ACH said the two new Physician Assistants will now be charged with the health and well-being of U.S. Service Members as primary care providers.
The IPAP program offers between 150-200 Soldiers a year an opportunity to become Physician Assistants. Cadets that graduate from the program earn both a Bachelor’s and Master's degrees from the University of Nebraska Medical Center and receive a commission as a 1st lieutenant.
The IPAP mission statement is to provide the uniformed services with highly competent, compassionate physician assistants who model integrity, strive for leadership excellence, and are committed to lifelong learning.
Capt. James D. Stillwell, a Physician Assistant who graduated the course on Fort Stewart in 2018, was the guest speaker for the day's event. Now serving with the 3rd Sustainment Brigade, he said the experience was rewarding - though it would mean long hours. He advised the graduates to remember to balance work with Family time and to be humble and empathetic.
