Bracha Buff
Crown Heights, NY
Bracha Buff was exposed to the medical world early on when her brother was diagnosed with cancer. “I knew from then that I wanted to do something in the medical world,” said Buff.
Buff graduated Lander College for Women—The Mark and Anna Ruth Hasten School. “I feel as prepared as I could be,” said Buff. “I have a good core of knowledge, and, more importantly, I developed the study skills I’ll need in PA school.” Two elements factored in her decision to choose Touro’s PA school: She liked being part of the Touro family and the PAs she shadowed were graduates of the School of Health Sciences. “They were incredibly well-versed and I wanted to be able to practice like that,” she said.
