Physician assistant (PA) alumni and students met the evening of May 29 following the AAPA convention to connect with one another and receive updates from Randy Danielsen, PhD, PA-C, DFAAPA, dean, A. T. Still University’s Arizona School of Health Sciences (ATSU-ASHS), and Bert Simon, DHSc, PA-C, chair, physician assistant studies. Below is a recap of the highlighted updates:
- Dr. Craig Phelps, DO, ’84, has served as president of ATSU for the last year, focusing on continuing to make ATSU a pre-eminent center of learning that promotes whole person healthcare and serving the underserved.
- Dr. Simon, who stepped into the role of chair of the physician assistant studies in 2012, is playing an integral role in the ATSU-ASHS visioning process as the school’s 20th anniversary approaches.
- The PA department can always use more preceptors to ensure students receive quality clinical experiences. If you are interested in becoming a preceptor, please contact Laura Witte, PhD, PA-C, associate program director, at lwitte@atsu.edu.
- White coat ceremonies continue to be an important and meaningful rite of passage for students starting a new academic journey. For more information or to sponsor a student’s white coat, click here.
