Katarina Astrup, PA-C
My specialties:
- Family medicine
Professional interests:
- Preventive care
- Health and wellness promotion
I am a board-certified physician assistant specializing in family medicine with professional interests in preventive care, and health and wellness promotion.
Hometown: Blaine, MN
I became a physician assistant: to combine my love for learning and science with helping others. I have always had an interest in health sciences, but I first met a PA-C after a knee injury in middle school. A few years later, I researched the profession, and was able to shadow physician assistants. This helped to confirm that it was the correct career choice for me.
My favorite part of my work: I enjoy meeting my patients and getting to follow-up with them, while working together towards their health goals.
