Part of the Small Collections. Two letters and one bullet list dealing with the termination of the University of Alabama - Birmingham Physician Assistant Program and the effort to reestablish it.

Pittman lists his apprehensions of the PA profession, which is an insightful insight into the thinking of physicians who had reservations against early PAs in that era. The second letter is addressed to Governor George Wallace from David Terp asking for intervention and continued state funding of the UAB PA Program. David Terp was a physician assistant and the then Communications Committee Chairman of the Alabama Society of Physician Assistants.
