Welcome to my E-Portfolio! Abd-Manaaf Bakere, MS, PA-C

Physician Assistant | NHSC Scholar | Dedicated Healthcare Professional

I am a passionate and dedicated Physician Assistant, Class of 2025, from York College, CUNY, with a strong academic and clinical background. Originally from Togo, West Africa, I began my educational journey in the United States in 2013, driven by a commitment to making a meaningful impact in healthcare.

My academic achievements reflect my dedication to excellence. I earned an Associate of Science in Biology from Bronx Community College, graduating with high honors and recognition on the President’s List. I then obtained a Bachelor’s degree in Biochemistry from Hunter College, consistently earning a place on the Dean’s List. Most recently, I completed my Master of Science in Physician Assistant Studies at York College, where I also received the prestigious National Health Service Corps (NHSC) Scholarship from the HRSA, further underscoring my commitment to serving underserved communities.

Beyond academics, my clinical experiences have shaped my ability to provide compassionate, patient-centered care. I have actively volunteered at New York-Presbyterian Hospital, University Medical Services, and Montefiore Hospital – Emergency Department, gaining hands-on experience in direct patient care, medical support, and emergency medicine. These experiences have strengthened my clinical skills and deepened my understanding of diverse patient populations.

My dedication to education extends beyond medicine. As a Mathematics Tutor at Bronx Community College and an HSE Mathematics and Science Instructor at Mosholu Montefiore Community Center, I have helped students develop strong analytical skills, further demonstrating my commitment to mentorship and lifelong learning.

I am NCCPA board-certified and hold certifications in Advanced Cardiac Life Support (ACLS), Basic Life Support (BLS), EKG, and Phlebotomy. My diverse background in healthcare, education, and community service positions me as a well-rounded professional ready to make a meaningful contribution to patient care and public health.
