Gemina Gates, MPA, PA, RN

AAL Senior Consultant Gemina Gates has been involved in PA education since 1992. She was the founding Associate Director of the Bronx-Lebanon Hospital Center Physician Assistant Program and was responsible for the creation and development of the program which she subsequently directed from 1999-2003.

Ms. Gates has held a series of faculty and administrative positions at The City College of New York/Sophie Davis School of Biomedical Education Physician Assistant Program @ Harlem Hospital Center, Lehman College and St. John’s University. In 2012, she retired as the Assistant Dean/Program Director of the CCNY School of Medicine PA Program.

After leaving CCNY, her extensive consulting experience has been centered on the provision of continuous assessment, evaluation, and development of the programmatic applications for institutional and national accreditation; curriculum development; course mapping; and faculty development in many existing and provisional Physician Assistant education programs.

She received a Bachelor of Science degree from the City College of New York; a Masters Degree in Public Administration from Baruch College; and a nursing degree from the Phillips Beth Israel School of Nursing. As a consultant, she has provided services to many professional associations including the Advisory Council on Minority Attrition for the Association of Physician Assistant Programs and the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. Some of her professional presentations have focused on issues related to development of minority faculty pipelines and strategies for reducing minority attrition in professional programs. The majority of her administrative educational career has been devoted to creating educational opportunities to underrepresented minorities emerging from educationally and economically disadvantaged backgrounds. Ms. Gates’ clinical career has been dedicated to medically under-served populations.

Her clinical experience includes registered nursing and practice for more than 20 years as a board-certified physician assistant with extensive experience in general/laparoscopic surgery and orthopedic surgery.

Success Stories

“I've taken quite a few leadership courses and seminars; none come close to the material involved and coordination AAL. Sprinkle a little genuine interest in seeing us succeed and well intentions and you have the best leadership mentors PERIOD.”

Dr. Khaled Hussein

BronxCare Health System

“The program was very valuable in the way that it gave us some real tools, some real opportunities and ways to evaluate ourselves and our own approaches to leadership and then gave us an opportunity of how to apply that to interprofessional education. I think that was the best … the applicability of the tools that were provided to us and how we can utilize those were just amazing. It was very valuable and an opportunity to evaluate yourself with the tools that they provided to give an introspective look into your own leadership style and what other people thought of your leadership, and that was very powerful.”

Dr. Kevin Brueilly

Wingate University Levine College of Health Sciences

“I think the program was excellent. There were many excellent sessions. They were very stimulating. They kept us moving, very thought provoking. I thought the program overall was well designed, and as I said very thought provoking. For the inaugural program, it was well put together. You could see the passion in the instructors, who were very well versed in the topics that they talked about. I’m really pleased to be a part of this, and as a social worker, I really got a great sense of how interprofessional education can be very instrumental in terms of social workers working in healthcare settings. I think this is the wave of the future, and this program will gain traction in the future. I’m just glad to be a part of it.”
