Amanda Brosnan is an Assistant Professor of Physician Assistant Studies at UNT Health, a practicing clinician, educator, and public health advocate with more than 12 years of experience in primary care and public health.

Amanda’s career has been shaped by a commitment to caring for underserved communities and addressing the factors that influence health long before a patient enters an exam room. Her clinical and public health experience spans family medicine, infectious disease, HIV, sexually transmitted infections, tuberculosis, and adolescent health. She continues to practice in an underserved community clinic while preparing future PAs to care for diverse communities.

As an educator and leader, Amanda chairs the PA Studies Curriculum Committee and previously served as Curriculum and Evaluation Faculty for the AETC South Central program. She is Principal Investigator for an HIV Curriculum Integration initiative and co-investigator on an NIH-funded study of prenatal syphilis screening. She also leads HIV education initiatives connecting PA students, clinicians, and community members, including a community-focused HIV symposium on prevention, treatment, stigma, and advocacy. Her CME lectures on HIV, syphilis, tuberculosis, and STI prevention have reached learners at conferences including AAPA and the Texas Academy of Physician Assistants.

Amanda earned her MPH from the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health and was a Bloomberg Fellow in Adolescent Health. She is also a Senior Atlantic Fellow for Health Equity. Her work has been recognized with the Ending the HIV Epidemic Pillar Award from the Tarrant County HIV Administrative Agency and the UNT Health PA Program’s 2025 Outstanding Preceptor of the Year Award.

Amanda believes PAs are uniquely positioned to bridge clinical medicine and public health, and that meaningful change happens when we listen to communities, advocate for patients, and turn education into action.
