CAPA Member Spotlight!
Today, we are thrilled to feature Kari Schoenwald, PA-C!
Before becoming a PA, Kari spent 15 years as a Medical Technologist in the clinical lab. She later graduated from the Red Rocks PA program in 2002 and spent years practicing in Infectious Diseases and Internal Medicine. Today, she’s paying it forward as a full-time professor and Director of Didactic Training at Red Rocks!
Kari has been a proud CAPA member since her student days:
“As a student, I recognized the importance of CAPA and its voice in the Colorado legislature... I also enjoy the networking and CME that CAPA provides.”
When she’s not teaching the next generation of PAs, you can find her outdoors enjoying free time with family, friends, and her sweet dog, Gracie!
Thank you, Kari, for your dedication to education, advocacy, and our PA community!
