Together, we can teach our future health care providers.

Board-certified physicians, nurse practitioners and physician assistants are needed to help students expand their knowledge from didactic curriculum into clinical rotations. The clinical year takes students from the theoretical classroom setting to an active, hands-on learning environment to prepare them for a lifetime of continue refinement of skills and expanded knowledge as a practicing physician assistant.
