Addressing Stress In Our Lives: Week of February 24, 2023

 

Dear Students, Faculty, Residents, Staff, Alumni, Board Members, and Friends,

Good morning on a beautiful winter morning from our Elkins Park campus. It’s been another very productive and busy week on campus. On Wednesday we were honored to host Rosemont College President Jim Cawley along with their academic leaders to work on pathways for Rosemont students to gain admission to Salus. It was exciting to hear the abundance of great ideas and to see relationships being built. In addition to all these activities, here are some other items of interest:

WELCOMING AN INTERIM PROVOST: Dr. Gerard (Gerry) O’Sullivan will be joining Salus University as Interim Provost effective March 1, 2023. He brings a wealth of experience and expertise in higher education. We are thrilled to have him join our team!

NEW BOT MEMBERS: We are delighted to welcome Eskedar Getahun, Daniel Liberman and William McCune to our Salus University Board of Trustees effective January 2023. Collectively they bring tremendous experience and expertise. We are so excited to have their leadership. Read more about them here.

SAFE ZONE TRAINING: The first of two Safe Zone Training sessions, hosted by the University’s Office of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion and the DEI committee, will be held today from noon to 2 p.m. The second session will be on April 18. All are encouraged to attend. Click here to register and for more information.

CAPSTONE CHALLENGE: For her Physician Assistant (PA) Studies Capstone Project, Chrislyn Cabonilas, MMS ’22, chose the topic “Can hormone replacement therapy decrease the likelihood of developing Alzheimer’s disease in women?” Click here to find out what she discovered.

LEARNING STYLE SCREENING: Please stop by the Center for Personal and Professional Development (CPPD) at W300B, C, E for a learning style screening event from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Monday, Feb 27. Screenings are brief and free. Walk-ins welcome. Students are encouraged to stop by to chat with the counselors and receive more information about counseling services and learning styles. Two goodie bags will be raffled off to those who stop in and fill out a screening form.

FINAL THOUGHTS: Today our city mourns the loss of Temple Police Officer Christopher Fitzgerald, who was killed in the line of duty on Sunday. Once again, our community has been rocked by senseless gun violence. Our hearts and prayers are with Officer Fitzgerald’s family, colleagues and the Temple University community.

Last week I wrote about the epidemic of loneliness, despair and pessimism about the future of our country, that was cited by the Surgeon General, and the importance of human connection. I believe the tragic death of Officer Fitzpatrick and many other violent acts -- that we hear about almost daily, find their roots in the Surgeon General’s concerns.

Everyone in our Salus community is acutely aware of stress, whether it be from our busy schedules, family issues or everything else swirling around us in the world. To that end, I want to remind you of some strategies and tools that help:

Stay focused on your studies - Keep up with your learning and try not to fall behind. Not only is focusing on school a great break from focusing on what’s going on in the world, it’s also a way to progress in your life while everything else seems like it’s on pause.

Use social media purposefully and not nonchalantly – Limit your screen time and refrain from posting for “likes” or for the sake of making the “best content.” Use social media to connect with some new classmates or the people you miss seeing every day. If you have children, limit their use of social media and monitor it frequently.

Develop a routine you can maintain - Sounds basic, but it makes a world of difference. Get up, make your bed (now you’ve accomplished at least one thing!), do some exercise, have breakfast, etc.

Get enough sleep – The better rested you are, the more capable your body and mind are at handling things that come your way including stress. Prioritize sleep and you’ll be more productive, resilient and attentive. 

Get outside – There are so many places around us that you can go and safely walk around in nature to clear your mind and get some exercise.

Make sure you have what you need for the next day - Check the schedule, lay out your clothes, make your lunch, etc.

These strategies support focus, health and optimism, which is the most difficult task. We have skilled counselors in our Center for Personal and Professional Development (CPPD) who are there for you. All you need to do is make an appointment here.

As we prepare for the weekend, this up-and-down weather will be leaving us much colder on Saturday and then warmer on Sunday. Try to get out and enjoy the fresh air! Be safe, continue to remain vigilant concerning the prevention of COVID and other illnesses which are still going around so you can remain SALUS STRONG! Have a great weekend!

-Mike

The Importance of Human Connection: Week of February 17, 2023

 

Dear Students, Faculty, Residents, Staff, Alumni, Board Members and Friends,

I write this week’s update with a very heavy heart as we keep in our thoughts and prayers Michigan State University students who were killed and injured earlier this week and the entire MSU community in the wake of the terrible tragedy. These heinous acts of violence have become all too commonplace throughout our country. Confronting this public health epidemic must be front and center in discussions with our local politicians and policy makers.

We also keep in our prayers and intentions all who have been impacted by the devastating earthquake along the Turkish Syrian border. Please refer to my February 11th LinkedIn post for more information and donation links.

SALUS SOULMATES: Mike Guerriere, MMS ‘18, and Alexandra (Adolph-Gothier) Guerriere, MMS ’18, were in the same Physician Assistant (PA) Studies class when they met. They started out as friends, but then he shoveled her car out of the snow and that led to romance. Click here to read more about Salus University’s featured Valentine’s Day couple.

LGBTQ+ SAFE SPACE TRAINING: Back by popular demand, Stan Kimer will provide a two-hour training session via Zoom on Friday, Feb 24. from noon to 2 p.m. The main subjects covered will include basic terms and definitions, LGBTQ+ history, being an ally, understanding key LGBTQ+ issues and struggles, and understanding and supporting the “coming out” process.

INTERNATIONAL RECOGNITION: Andrea Tyszka, OTD ‘18, OTR/L, SIPT, and Anna Grasso, OTD, MS, OTR/L, CAPS, ECHM, presented a poster at the World Federation of Occupational Therapists (WFOT) international conference in Paris highlighting an innovative model of fieldwork that the Salus Occupational Therapy (OT) department utilized during the pandemic. To read more, click here. 

COMMUNICATIONS ON A ROLL: Congratulations to our Office of Communications for achieving two awards from the Council for Advancement and Support of Education (CASE) and two CUPPIE awards from the College and University Public Relations and Associated Professionals (CUPRAP), in the categories of marketing/advertising outdoors and long-form story. So great to see their work recognized! 

DREAMSCAPES EXHIBIT: The newest art exhibit, titled “Dreamscapes,” featuring the work of Kathy Robinson and Jenn Hallgren, is now available to see through March 24, 2023, at the D’Arrigo Family Gallery located inside the Hafter Student Community Center on Salus University’s Elkins Park campus. Click here for a preview.

FINAL THOUGHTS: This week I am attending the annual meeting of the Society of Federal Health Care Professionals, AMSUS, in which our U.S. Surgeon General Dr. Vivek Murthy has highlighted the epidemic of loneliness, despair and pessimism about the future of our country, and the importance of human connection. Especially among children, social media exposure has fostered feelings of loneliness, isolation and sadness. When people experience togetherness, this raises optimism and creativity. When they experience belonging, their lives are stronger, richer, and more joyful.

Dr. Murthy identifies four strategies that mitigate and directly address the root causes of the crisis. These include:

1. Spend quality time each day with the person(s) you love. This could be as little as 15 minutes with those for whom you care most. 
2.  When talking with someone, give them your full, undivided attention with eye contact and active listening.
3. Embrace solitude through meditation, art, music, prayer, and time spent outdoors.
4. Help and accept help from others. Service is a human connection that helps to remind all of us of our value and purpose in life. Simple acts such as checking on neighbors, seeking advice or smiling at a stranger make us all stronger.

As healthcare providers, we are a vital part of this solution. Giving our patients and students our full attention with kindness, care and respect; limiting the use of social media, especially among our children; spending quality time with family and friends; taking time for self-care; helping and accepting help from others; are all important steps we can take to foster connection and belonging as an antidote to isolation, depression and sadness. While political vitriol, gun violence, social unrest and general pessimism dominate the headlines, the fullest majority of society is comprised of good people doing good things.

Sometimes we need to be reminded of this -- and all that we can do individually and collectively, in and beyond the clinic and classroom, to build a stronger, richer and more creative society.

As we approach this weekend, please take time to reflect upon the strategies that Dr. Murthy shared with all of us so we can all become better connected and in the long-run, better providers for those we care for. Be safe, continue to look out for one another and remains SALUS STRONG!

Fly Eagles Fly! Week of February 10, 2022

 

Dear Students, Faculty, Residents, Staff, Alumni, Board Members and Friends,

Good morning from our Elkins Park campus where things remain busy and productive. We’re starting to move some offices and people around to make room for the renovation project on the first floor of the South building, which is exciting! In addition to this, here are some other items that I hope you will find interesting:

HUMANITARIAN TRIP: A group of Doctor of Optometry students from the Pennsylvania College of Optometry (PCO) at Salus University had the chance to go on a humanitarian trip to Nicaragua from Jan. 6-13, to help underserved communities in that country. Click here to read about their experiences.

SLP POST-BACC PODCAST: In our latest podcast, Robert Serianni, MS, CCC-SLP, FNAP, chair and program director of the department of Speech-Language Pathology at Salus University, speaks with adjunct faculty member Lauren Bevan, MS '17, CCC-SLP, about the Post-baccalaureate Speech-Language Pathology Track. For details, click here.

CAMPUS CLIMATE SURVEY: We are just past the halfway point of our Campus Climate Survey and according to Viewfinder, which is administering the survey for us, the typical completion rate for health professionals at the end of the first four weeks of the survey is 15 percent for students and 50 percent for employees. We have surpassed those numbers with 215 students (18 percent) and 189 employees (53 percent) participating. If you haven’t seen the survey in your email in-box, search for the word “Viewfinder” in your junk/trash folders. There’s still time to participate. Thanks to all of you who have completed the survey to this point.

CASE AWARDS: Congratulations to our Communications Department on receiving two Council for Advancement and Support of Education (CASE) Awards: 

• Podcasts (Frequent) - Aphasia Client Shares Her Story of Recovery at SLI
• Writing: News/Feature (1,000+ words) - Grad a Strong Voice of Endurance and Strength

FINAL THOUGHTS: Last week Dr. Vitek and I had the opportunity to attend the annual awards banquet of The Four Chaplains organization. The organization honors four military chaplains who exhibited great courage, compassion and strength when their World War II transport ship, the U.S.A.T. Dorchester, was sunk by a German U-Boat off the coast of Greenland on February 3, 1943. Those chaplains were: LT. George L. Fox, Methodist; LT Alexander D. Goode, Jewish, LT John P. Washington, Roman Catholic; and LT Clark V. Poling, Dutch Reformed. With many men wounded and hurt, the chaplains made their way topside to where the lifejackets were housed and began to distribute them. When the supply of life jackets ran out, they gave their own life jackets to the next man in line. Through the course of the disastrous evening, these four Chaplains provided prayers, encouragement and comfort to survivors.

There are parallels between what these four Chaplains did on the deck of the Dorchester and what you do every day as healthcare professionals. Whether in our clinics, local community schools or via telemedicine, you provide hope and the promise of a better life through improved health, vision, hearing, speech and language, life skills or prosthetics to help others get around. Sometimes in the middle of a busy day, you might forget how the things you do or say affect those in your care. Just as the four Chaplains did on the deck of the Dorchester 80 years ago, you make a difference in everyone’s life daily through your work and commitment to help others.

As you prepare for the weekend, please try to reflect on the sacrifice, heroism and dedication of the Four Chaplains. Here’s a link if you’d like to learn more about their amazing grace under fire.

Also, remember this is Superbowl weekend with our Philadelphia Eagles poised to take on the Kansas City Chiefs. Please remember there will be many people out on the streets, especially in Center City, following the game on Sunday, win or lose. Please plan accordingly if you’re going to be out and about. We want everyone back on campus safe, sound and SALUS STRONG!

FLY EAGLES FLY!!!!

The Importance of Being Proactive: Week of February 3, 2022

 

Dear Students, Faculty, Residents, Staff, Alumni, Board Members and Friends,

Good morning on a brisk Friday from our Elkins Park campus where all of our students, faculty and staff have been busy with classes, labs and clinics. Special thanks to our volunteer Board of Trustee members for their insights and participation at our Board meeting earlier this week. We deeply value their expertise and guidance. In addition, here are some other items of interest:

NEW SAFE ZONE LOGO: We are excited to introduce our new LGBTQ+ Safe Zone logo (see attached). Salus employees who complete one of the upcoming, two-hour "Safe Zone" trainings may wish to display the emblem in their office space to signify completion. Trainings are available virtually Feb. 24 and April 18. Registration information will be emailed in the coming weeks.

PA AND OT PANEL DISCUSSION: The Physician Assistant (PA) Studies program faculty, along with PA and Occupational Therapy (OT) students, will present a panel discussion titled "Learning the Challenges of Healthcare Access through a Medical Service Lens: Salus PA & OT Student Experiences in Guatemala,” at noon today, Feb. 3, in Room S-300. Go to cerbgistration@salus.edu to register.

COMMUNICATION TIPS: Please join CPPD's doctoral student trainees Andrew Jaskot and Janeyshka Ortiz-Flores for a communication “tips and tricks” tabling event from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. Thursday, Feb. 9, outside the café. Students are encouraged to stop by to chat with the counselors, receive more information about communication styles in relationships, grab some treats, and receive more information about the 

CPPD. BLACK HISTORY MONTH: Wednesday marked the beginning of Black History Month commemorating and celebrating the history, accomplishments, leadership, and lives of Black Americans. Dr. Mosley-Williams sent out this week a powerful reflection that I encourage you all to read.

FINAL THOUGHTS: This week a friend reminded me of a quote attributed to President John F. Kennedy: “The time to repair the roof is when the sun is shining.”

Good leaders, and those of us in healthcare, always need to be proactive. The way we do this at Salus is through scenario planning, a modeling exercise that systematically explores alternative futures in healthcare and higher education, in order to formulate strategies to address potential developments.

For example, while we could never have predicted a global pandemic, our scenario planning enabled us to respond effectively. One of our scenarios identified the need to expand hybrid education. As part of our strategic plan, we invested heavily in the necessary infrastructure to facilitate this. This investment allowed us to pivot to on-line teaching and learning over the course of a weekend when the pandemic hit.

As we emerged from the pandemic, we embarked on another round of scenario planning. While this evolution validated many of the findings from our last round, it also pointed to the importance of developing sustainable partnerships and affiliations with other institutions. Given the current landscape in higher education, we are proactively nurturing collaborative relationships with many schools, and in particular our consortium partners, to develop well-defined pathways from community colleges to our programs.

As healthcare providers, we develop differential diagnosis lists to provide the best possible care for patients as conditions and symptoms evolve. This is a form of scenario planning – exploring a range of potential treatment courses so that we are better prepared for the unexpected. As students, you also need to be thinking proactively about managing your time to effectively study for national board exams. When I was a student, we “budgeted” several hours a week just to stay on top of things – something I highly recommend. 

As we get ready for the weekend, please think about the importance of being proactive in all that you do. By planning ahead, you’ll be able to prioritize what’s important to you personally and professionally, because you will spend less time reacting.

Have a great weekend – Stay warm as it’s supposed to be extremely cold. Be safe, remain COVID vigilant, continue to watch out for one another and remain SALUS STRONG!

Building Trust-Based Relationships: Week of January 20, 2023

 

Dear Students, Faculty, Residents, Staff, Alumni, Board Members and Friends,

Good morning from our Elkins Park Campus where it’s great to see students collaborating in our Learning Resource Center and walking around the campus! It’s been especially gratifying to see our Cristo Rey High School interns supporting several key areas while gaining experience and exposure to our health professions. Here are other items that I hope will be of interest to you:

FABULOUS FRAMING: When asked where she gets her sense of style, Nwamaka Ngoddy, OD ‘12, answers “from the school of life.” That awareness has helped Dr. Ngoddy expand her professional horizons. After years of practicing in retail optometry, she opened Anwuli Eyewear in 2019, where she designs frames specifically with African-American facial features in mind. Read more about Dr. Ngoddy here.

SENSE OF BELONGING: Strengthening a sense of belonging – the feeling that each of us is valued, connected and important, is something to which we all can actively contribute, and the research shows that belonging boosts engagement and retention. That was the message from Terrell Strayhorn, PhD, to faculty and staff at Salus University’s Development Day. Read more about Dr. Strayhorn’s presentation here.

PCO CAREER FAIR: The Pennsylvania College of Optometry (PCO) Career Fair will be from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Sunday, Jan. 22, in the Hafter Student Community Center. PCO/Salus students can learn more about full or part-time clinical externship opportunities in local practices. Contact careerservices@salus.edu with questions.

SEASONAL AFFECTIVE DISORDER EVENT: Join CPPD's doctoral student trainees Andrew Jaskot and Janeyshka Ortiz-Flores for a Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) tabling event from 11 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. outside the café on Monday, Jan. 23. Students are encouraged to stop by to chat with the counselors, receive more information about counseling services, pick-up snacks, and enter a raffle to win a seasonal affective disorder light therapy lamp.

FINAL THOUGHTS: I have been reading a book about the Stoics and am struck by a quote from Marcus Aurelius, which is quite timely: “It’s the truth I’m after, and the truth never harmed anyone. What harms us is to persist in self-deceit and ignorance.”

With so many “alternative facts” floating around in the press and society, it can be hard to what and whom to trust. Healthcare should top the list of societal institutions in which we can place our trust and confidence. As healthcare professionals, we can help build this one patient at a time.

According to author Stephen Covey, trust is built upon credibility, consistent behavior, alignment, reputation and contribution. (The Speed of Trust: The One Thing That Changes Everything, 2008) We can actively build trusting relationships with our patients and clients by presenting evidence-based information, actively listening and responding consistently with kindness, care and respect; being reliability present and aligned in our words and actions; and actively seeking opportunities to contribute to the greater good within and beyond our professions.

While the current political and social divides in our country may create uncertainty, we can counter this by creating caring, trustful, reliable relationships that will serve our patients and clients well. The choices we make and the actions we take, individually and collectively, build personal, professional, institutional and societal integrity.

As you prepare for the weekend, I encourage you to reflect on the many ways you can develop the skills and behaviors that will foster trust-based relationships with each patient and client in your care.

Have a great weekend – be safe, continue to look out for one another and remain SALUS STRONG!

-Mike

Honoring the Memory of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr: Week of January 13, 2022

 

Dear Students, Faculty, Residents, Staff, Alumni, Board Members and Friends,

Happy Friday from Elkins Park, where we are excited to welcome our students back to campus!

WINNING ACADEMIC POSTER: Salus University faculty members recently authored an award-winning academic poster at a recent Interprofessional Education Collaboration (IPEC) virtual poster fair showcase. Titled “Evolution of an IPE Case: An Interprofessional Approach for Large Student Cohorts,” the event highlighted research scholarship on interprofessional education for collaborative (IPECP) projects. The lead author is Dr. Radhika Aravamudhan, dean of the Osborne College of Audiology (OCA). Read more here.

ALUMNI AWARDS NOMINATIONS: The Salus University Alumni Association annually recognizes the professional contributions and achievements of graduates and friends of the institution. You are invited and encouraged to nominate members of the Salus community for one of our annual Alumni Awards. Nominations are open here until Jan. 19, 2023.

DEAN’S WINTERFEST: Dean’s Winterfest is back to being held in the winter. This year, the event will be held from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. Thursday, Jan. 19, at The Hafter Center bringing our Salus community together after the holidays for some fun and face-to-face interaction.

FINAL THOUGHTS: As we prepare to celebrate the life of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. on Monday, I am reflecting much on the principles he modeled through the life he lived and how we might apply these to address societal challenges, including our ongoing pandemic recovery, the war in Ukraine, inflation, and many others. Righteousness, equality, justice, and nonviolence were key tenets in the American civil rights movement that he led. How might we, as healthcare providers, emulate and apply these principles to meet the challenges we face?

I encourage you to carve out seventeen minutes today to watch Dr. King’s “I Have A Dream” speech. I suspect that while we’ve all heard parts of it, many have never listened to the entire speech. My hope is that you experience something far greater than the momentary satisfaction of social media.

To honor Dr. King, let me share two quotes that reflect what we do at Salus:

“The function of education is to teach one to think intensively and to think critically. Intelligence plus character – that is the goal of true education.” 

 

“We may have all come on different ships, but we’re in the same boat now.”

So many of us at Salus come from very different backgrounds and cultures. Together on our wonderful campus, we bring all our diverse strengths to impact the future of healthcare, education and professional practice.

Monday’s holiday is the only national holiday designated as a Day of Service to encourage all Americans to do something to improve their communities as a tribute to Dr. King. Dr. King lived his life serving others through his actions and words. On Monday, try to do something that honors Dr. King’s life. As Dr. King said, “Those who are not looking for happiness are the most likely to find it, because those who are searching forget that the surest way to be happy is to seek happiness for others.” Let’s try to live that adage in these turbulent times.

As you prepare for the weekend, try to reflect of some of Dr. King’s lessons and work to employ those lessons in your daily interactions with your patients, clients, family members and friends. Be safe, continue to wear a mask when around crowds, look out for one another and remain SALUS STRONG! 

 - Mike

Happy Holidays! Week of December 23, 2022

 

Dear Students, Faculty, Residents, Staff, Alumni, Board Members and Friends,

As classes wind down and we look toward 2023, I want to thank our extraordinarily talented faculty and staff for all you’ve done for our students, patients and clients throughout the year. What a remarkable year we’ve shared -- filled with many individual and team successes! Next year promises to be interesting and exciting, presenting all of us with new opportunities and challenges in which to learn and grow together.

A few items of interest for you:

DECADE OF OT EXCELLENCE: In its 10th anniversary of training students, Occupational Therapy has made its presence known. Salus OT graduates are recognized among the best in the country. Read here about the history of the OT department as it marks its first decade.

MARCHING TO NEW ORLEANS: The Speech-Language Pathology (SLP) and Audiology programs at Salus University recently took the party to New Orleans for the annual American Speech-Language-Hearing Association (ASHA) convention. SLP faculty, staff, students and alumni gathered at the weekend-long conference to engage in workshops, networking, continuing education opportunities, and other fun festivities. Read more about their trip to the Big Easy here.

POST-BACC POSSIBILITIES: Salus University’s Post-baccalaureate programs serve students who have already completed an undergraduate degree or are working toward a secondary degree from an accredited institution. Click here to read more about these programs and the opportunities they present for students.

FINAL THOUGHTS: President Zelensky’s remarks to Congress on Wednesday evening provided an combination of courage, eloquence and dignity while under fire. It also was a stark reminder of how lucky we are to be in a country that can come together and provide support to the Ukrainian people who have been repeatedly attacked by a totalitarian government determined to break their will and our commitment to support them. Neither will succeed. President Zelensky clearly articulated the strength and will of the Ukrainian people; our leadership conveyed their support. While this may seem far away from us, their fight, as noted Wednesday evening, is one with direct implications for Europe and our own democracy. It’s important for us to remain cognizant of these events. What Russia does can impact us.

As you prepare for the Christmas weekend, please keep the people of Ukraine in your thoughts and prayers. I also ask that you be very careful when traveling as the weather is turning very cold on Saturday. No matter where you go, please also keep in mind that covid, the flu and RSV are still circulating. Please continue to follow CDC masking guidelines and exhibit good common sense when out and about. I look forward to seeing you in January healthy and SALUS STRONG!

As has been my custom since coming to Salus, I am following a Navy tradition of leaving you with an original Christmas Eve poem that the Officer of the Day was supposed to write in the ship’s logbook that evening, based on the famous “Night Before Christmas” poem by Clement Clarke Moore.

‘Twas the day before Christmas when all through the house,

Not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse.

PCO fixed to screens, through lenses and frames,

In hopes that the Birds win our Christmas Eve’s game.

When out on the field there arose such a clatter,

OCA and DICE ran to see what was the matter.

Reddick, Brandon and Sweat for the sack,

Assisted by Fletcher, no chance had poor Dak.

Now, Goedert and Stoll, Sanders and Scott,

On Watkins, Smith, Brown -- lined up in the slot.

With the seed on the line, Hurts out for the game,

PAs and OTs could assist if he’s lame.

Out walked the Gardner, moustache like a flame,

In as a backup to clean up the game.

His eyes—how they squinted! He lurched and he scurried--

BLVS shouted, “there’s nothing to worry!”

As our O&P, SLP and PhD’s watched with delight

Would our Eagles swoop in for the win? What a sight!

The story has yet to be finished, so we wait

For Saturday 4:25, don’t be late--

One final wish for one and for all:

As you spend time with family and friends

The happiest of holidays ‘til this quick week ends!

Our programs in order of appearance:

PCO = Pennsylvania College of Optometry

OCA = Osborne College of Audiology

DICE = Department of International and Continuing Education

PA = Physician’s Assistant Studies Program
