As MAPA’s Communications Chair, Dr. Kopacki brings energy, curiosity, and genuine connection to each episode. With his background as a PA educator, ER PA, mentor, and storyteller, he creates space for real conversations that highlight the human side of medicine and leadership. Through interviews, reflections, and shared experiences, he helps us uncover lessons that resonate beyond the clinic; Lessons about purpose, growth, and community.
