“I’m honored to have the opportunity to continue working at West Liberty University in the Physician Assistant Program in this new role,” said Brammer recently. “I’m excited to guide the program forward as we continue to provide a high-quality education to physician assistant students, equipping them to provide excellent care for their future patients.”

Brammer was then employed as a Laboratory Instructing Assistant in the WLU Biology Department for four years.

Upon passing her PA boards, Brammer worked as a PA at Ohio Valley Allergy and Asthma Institute until returning to the field of education in 2015 as the academic coordinator and a faculty member for the West Liberty University PA program. She served in this position until accepting the program director position August of 2022. She also works clinically as a PA at the Center for Pediatrics at WVU Medicine Wheeling Hospital where she began working in 2016.
