Lilly Moss Parllaku, PA-C
Lilly is another home-grown Pennsylvanian and spent her childhood in West Chester. She travelled down south to the University of Georgia for college and finished her advanced degree back home at Drexel. She graduated the PA-C program in 2012 and spent 7 years in the Penn Emergency Department where she has performed thousands of procedures and had the opportunity to diagnose and treat many rare skin disorders. Lilly has always had a particular penchant for integrating an esthetic eye into the art of laceration repair and was congenially known as the “lac queen” during her stint at Penn. She also found the time to give back to her fellow PA-Cs by establishing the first internship program for PA students in the Penn ED.
She is an active member of the Pennsylvania Dermatology Physician Assistants, the Society of Dermatology Physician Assistants (SDPA), and is board certified by the Commission on Certification of Physician Assistants (NCCAP). She regularly attends educational conferences to stay up to date in the field. Her favorite event to-date was the week long 2018 Fall SDPA seminar in Orlando that covered the dermatology sub-specialties: psoriatic arthritis, pediatric & adolescent dermatology, gestational dermatology, and dermatologic surgical procedures.
