Jana Paul, PA-C, is Montana born and raised. A graduate of Beaverhead County High School in Dillon, she went on to earn her Bachelor of Science in Biology from Boise State University in 2003. She began her medical career as a phlebotomist in Bend, Oregon, before joining the U.S. Peace Corps, where she served for two years in eSwatini, Africa, as an HIV/AIDS Educator and Community Development Volunteer—an experience she describes as life-changing.

After returning to the U.S., Jana completed the Child Health Associate/Physician Assistant Program at the University of Colorado Health Sciences Center, earning her Master of Physician Assistant Studies in 2011. She then returned to her Montana roots, practicing in Family Medicine, Urgent Care, and Orthopedics, as well as assisting in surgery at Barrett Hospital and Healthcare in Dillon.

In 2019, Jana relocated to Bozeman, where she continued her work in orthopedic medicine. She is now thrilled to return to a rural community to help establish a new orthopedic practice at Deer Lodge Medical Center, expanding access to specialized care in southwest Montana.

Outside of work, Jana enjoys skiing, golfing, hiking, camping, and attending outdoor concerts with her husband and son.
