Ryan Jacob Obituary, Death Cause – North Carolina-born Ryan O’Hara, PA-C. Born in Asheboro, NC, he lives there. Ryan graduated from UNC Chapel Hill with a BA in Exercise and Sports Science and a coaching education minor. After graduating from UNC in 2016, he completed PA Studies at Wake Forest School of Medicine in 2018. The High Point Medical Center Emergency Department has employed him since graduation.

Ryan joined NCAPA as a student and became a Fellow after becoming a PA. Ryan understood he needed to support NCAPA to promote the PA profession in North Carolina. He valued PA activism, especially at the state level. He thinks “so many NC PA decisions are made at the state level.” PAs must support our profession in NC to keep it a great area to practice. PAs at the state level must be supported financially or by volunteering.

Ryan said he loves becoming a PA because he can change specializations and obtain a broad education. My employment was unaffected by COVID-19, although many PA school classmates changed specializations. When COVID-19 hit, a PA school friend went from general surgery to IR. She placed central, arterial lines, etc. and switched careers without a hitch. We received wide training at Wake Forest and learnt how to customize patient care to help as many patients as possible. PAs were created for pandemics like COVID-19. To help where needed and improve patient care overall. This job’s adaptability was its main draw.

Ryan loves advancing the PA profession. Since graduation, he “felt like (he) needed to get involved and begin giving back to the profession.” Ryan supports the PA profession in many ways beyond his NCAPA membership. He was on a 2019 Student Leadership Retreat panel of recent grads and is on the NCAPA membership and marketing committee. Ryan is Wake Forest and High Point PA programs’ lead preceptor and a Piedmont Association of PAs (PAPA) student mentor committee member. He wants to “continue advancing the PA profession as it comes to rights, privileges and improved relationships with other medical organizations,” and help people understand that PAs “are capable providers that work within a team to improve patient care.

Ryan was elevated to lead APP with his High Point Medical Center ED group. He works as an adjunct professor at the High Point PA program and is pursuing a Doctor of Medical Science at AT Still University, graduating in December 2021.
