Brittany Hogan PA-S

Brittany is a second year PA student at the Yale University Physician Associate Program. She is currently in her clinical year finishing in December. Brittany earned her BS from Fordham University in 2010. At that time, she knew she wanted a career in medicine but had not decided which path to take. She spent a few years working in New York City as an EEG technician and then in Boston as a weight loss coach. After meeting and shadowing PAs during that time, Brittany soon learned that there was no better fit than to become a PA. In her limited free time, Brittany enjoys soccer, running, writing, painting, and cooking. Brittany plans to move to the Boston area after graduating and hopes to work in Dermatology or Plastic Surgery
