Congratulations Class of 2027!
You have officially progressed to the clinical phase of the program! All of the hours in the classroom, taking test after test, preparing for every practical and OSCE.. has all lead to your well deserved white coat ceremony. We are so very excited to recognize each of you and cannot wait to hear about your experiences at your first clinical starting in a few weeks. You exceeded our expectations in many ways during these last 12 months, now’s the time to spread your wings as a clinical year PA student- learn as much as you can every day and we know you’ll represent yourselves, our program, and the profession very well!
