Methodist University Physician Assistant Program

Congratulations to our Class of 2022 on their graduation day!! 💚💛

It is with a heavy heart we share that the founder of the Methodist Univeristy PA program, Mr. Ron Foster, PA-C, passed away this past Tuesday. Mr. Foster, was a true visionary and with the support from former MU president, Dr. Elton Hendricks, founded the PA program at MU in 1993 and served as program director until 2009. Mr. Foster had a passion for recruiting and retaining PA’s to serve our community in southeastern N.C. He created the mission that makes our program what it is today. Although we are saddened at his passing, we are grateful for his support of the students/alumni since the program’s inception. Below is information regarding visitation and funeral arrangements. Please keep his family in your thoughts and prayers.

Visitation will be held on Sunday, June 12th from 6pm-8pm at Roger and Breese Funeral Home.
Funeral services will be held on Monday, June 13th at 1:30 pm at St. Michael the Archangel Maronite Catholic Church, Fayetteville.
