About Megan Cavanaugh

My name is Megan Cavanaugh, and I am a certified physician assistant. I obtained a bachelor’s degree in public health from UNCW and a master’s degree in physician assistant studies from GWU. Since 2018, I have been a licensed EMT, consistently maintaining my certification and demonstrating a commitment to providing quality care. Before PA school, I gained invaluable experience while working at a substance use and behavioral health center, where I engaged with individuals facing mental health and substance use challenges, further honing my ability to deliver comprehensive care.

My primary clinical interests are in anxiety disorders, depressive disorders, attention deficit disorder, mood disorders, and pharmacologic medication management overall.

As a dedicated physician assistant, I prioritize active listening and empathetic understanding, recognizing that each individual’s journey towards healing is unique. By fostering a supportive and non-judgmental environment, I aim to empower patients to share their experiences openly, facilitating a collaborative approach to treatment.
