We are pleased to welcome Claire Hulse, a Certified Physician Assistant, to our team after completing a rigorous Physician Assistant training program in Searcy, AR. She joins our team with excellent clinical acumen, compassionate bedside manners, and superior interpersonal skills, making her a perfect fit for our practice and the community we serve.

Claire earned her Bachelor of Science in Biochemistry in May 2023 and immediately went on to pursue her Physician Assistant studies at Harding University, graduating in December 2025. Throughout her training, she gained a broad range of clinical and procedural experience and was regarded as extremely kind, smart, and hardworking by her preceptors.

At Hope Pulmonary Associates, Claire will practice under the supervision of Dr. Najmuddin and is committed to continuing to grow into a confident advanced practice provider.

In her free time, Claire enjoys spending time with family, going for walks, exploring new places with friends, and loving on her Pekingese puppy, “Ruby”.
