Bob Miller, PA-C, was a beloved CAPA leader, tireless advocate, and one of the many individuals whose dedication helped shape the Physician Associate profession in California. Through his clinical expertise, mentorship, and unwavering commitment to advancing the role of PAs, Bob left a lasting impact on patients, colleagues, and the profession he loved.
A Pioneer in Patient Care
Bob was the first PA hired at Children's Hospital Los Angeles, where he cared for patients with hemophilia for more than 30 years as a key member of a multidisciplinary specialty care team. He served as a mentor clinician throughout the Western States Hemophilia Treatment Center Network, educating countless healthcare professionals in the diagnosis and treatment of bleeding disorders. His contributions extended far beyond the bedside.

He served as the first Chair of CAPA's Professional Practice Committee and was deeply involved in efforts to remove barriers to PA practice in California. In recognition of his extraordinary contributions to the profession, he received CAPA's Pride of the Profession Award in 2012.
