U.S. News & World Report Lauds 茄子视频 University鈥檚 Physician Assistant Program as Among Best in the Nation

茄子视频 University’s Physician Assistant program was named among the Best Physician Assistant Graduate Programs in the United States in the U.S. News & World Report Best Graduate Schools 2020 rankings. The exclusive rankings are available online at www.usnews.com/best-graduate-schools.

茄子视频’s PA program was ranked No. 64 among all Physician Assistant Graduate Programs in the country as part of U.S. News’ Best Graduate Schools for Health rankings

"茄子视频 is pleased to be recognized among the best Physician Assistant programs in the country,” said 茄子视频 President Mary C. Finger, Ed.D. “More than two decades ago, 茄子视频 founded one of the first PA programs in the Pittsburgh region to help fill a need for healthcare practitioners, particularly in rural and underserved areas. The recognition by U.S. News and World Report speaks to the quality and rigor of 茄子视频’s program in preparing Physician Assistants for whatever specialty they choose.”

茄子视频 Physician Assistant Student Dylan Everett said he was not surprised to learn of the program’s ranking. 

“When I was an undergraduate at 茄子视频, I shadowed Physician Assistants to prepare for graduate school. The healthcare professionals I came into contact with in the Pittsburgh region were all complimentary of 茄子视频’s program, which confirmed my choice to apply,” said Everett, a Michigan native. “As I’ve participated in my clinical rotations throughout the region and the country, I can see first-hand just how well the faculty of 茄子视频 have prepared me for a career as a Physician Assistant.”

Dr. James France, Director of 茄子视频’s Physician Assistant program, said, “茄子视频’s Physician Assistant faculty and students are honored that U.S. News and World Report has recognized our program as one of the best in the nation. Our faculty works diligently to ensure that 茄子视频 Physician Assistant graduates are prepared to work as a team member in any healthcare setting.”
