We are excited to welcome Rebecca Nelson, PA-C, to our team! Rebecca brings a strong background in endocrinology and a passion for patient-centered care to her role as a Physician Assistant.
Rebecca completed her Master of Physician Assistant Studies at Charleston Southern University, where she focused on evidence-based medicine and explored the role of glucagon-like peptide receptor agonists in treating binge eating disorder for her master’s thesis. During her clinical training, she gained extensive experience in endocrinology working with patients managing complex conditions such as diabetes, thyroid disorders, and other hormonal imbalances.
Her medical experience extends beyond her PA education. Before becoming a Physician Assistant, Rebecca worked as a Certified Medical Assistant in various specialties, including endocrinology, family medicine, and internal medicine. This hands-on experience strengthened her skills in patient care, diagnostic testing, and collaborating with multidisciplinary teams.
Rebecca is certified by the NCCPA, holds an active South Carolina Physician Assistant license, and maintains advanced certifications in ACLS and PALS. She is also a member of the American Academy of Physician Assistants and the South Carolina Academy of Physician Assistants, reflecting her dedication to staying current in her field.
Rebecca is excited to bring her expertise in endocrinology and her commitment to compassionate care to our practice, serving the Charleston community and beyond. In her free time, she enjoys volunteering and giving back to underserved populations, including participating in a recent mission trip to the Dominican Republic. We are thrilled to have her on board!
