Jeff Coursey, PA-C
Directly upon graduating from the University of California at Davis PA/FNP program in 1985, Jeff began a career that has focused on working with the underserved in the Primary Care setting as well as educating PA students in clinical and service learning.
He first moved to Utah to work in the Community Health Centers in 1985. In 1988, he moved to Chicago and had his first taste of PA education, becoming the Academic Coordinator of New Start Program in inner city Chicago at the Chicago City-Wide Colleges. He returned to Utah in 1991 to become the Medical Director of the Utah Farm Worker Health Program, a state-wide program serving Utah's agricultural workers through the Community Health Centers, Inc. During his tenure with Migrant Health he worked with state and local agencies around the state of Utah to promote access to care for Utah's farm workers. As a committee chair at the CHC, he worked with local pharmacies to develop a program to access PHS pharmaceutical pricing for uninsured patients. He also served on the Medicaid Drug Utilization Review Board for the State of Utah from 1996 to 1998. Jeff was drawn back into PA education in 1993 as preceptor for Friday clinic students, and in 1996 he joined UPAP, teaching in the small group setting as a Clinical Associate. During this time he worked alongside the UPAP core faculty to develop the Migrant Head Start Summer Physical program, which in 2002 received an 'Innovations in Health Care' award from the PA Foundation. He was honored by UPAP with the 'Beacon of Service Learning' award in 2006. Jeff joined UPAP in 2007 as the Associate Director of Academic Affairs, partnering with Dan Crouse to develop and coordinate first year curriculum. He currently co-chairs UPAP's Health Disparities Committee. In addition to his work with UPAP, he continues one day a week offering clinical care to migrant workers.
Jeff lives in the Avenues area of SLC with his spouse of 22 years and their two teenage daughters. His interests include hiking and biking in the hills and mountains along the Wasatch Front. He also enjoys backpacking, fly-fishing (Dan catches more fish!) and woodworking.
