BG92 Posted May 31, 2015 Share Posted May 31, 2015 Sorry if this has been asked a million times but I couldn't find a definitive answer anywhere. What's the consensus on capitalizing physician assistant in our personal statement? It's capitalized in the CASPA question. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DiggySRNA Posted May 31, 2015 Share Posted May 31, 2015 Capitalize when referring to the profession: I became interested in the Physician Assistant profession. Lower case when referring to an individual within that profession: BG29, a physician assistant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wxwin93 Posted May 26, 2017 Share Posted May 26, 2017 I thought it'd be: I became interested in the physician assistant (PA) profession? We're supposed to capitalize when referring to the profession? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ajames Posted May 26, 2017 Share Posted May 26, 2017 @wxwin93, yeah, you're right. You capitalize when referring to the profession not as a general statement. http://academicguides.waldenu.edu/writingcenter/apa/other "6. Capitalization: Do not capitalize job titles unless immediately preceding a person's name: the superintendent, but Superintendent Williams; the vice president of the school board, but Vice President Agnew.
