About the program
Overview
Mission statement
With a primary goal of reducing suffering and empowering our patients to lead more content lives, we focus on faculty, student, and patient satisfaction throughout the PA program. In so doing, it is our goal to assist students in not only developing into stellar, competent, compassionate, and mission-focused PAs but also to become better at "being". Beyond our stellar experiential activities, conducted throughout all phases of the program, we also implement active learning strategies that are purposive, holistic, reflective, complex, engaging, collaborative, and case-based.
Program features
The Physician Assistance program at Emory & Henry University offers students state-of-the-art equipment in the classroom, dedicated PA lab, on-campus simulation lab and traditional cadaver lab. In addition, our students begin rotating in the Mel Leaman Free Clinic second semester of their first year.
Clinical rotations
The 27‑month curriculum includes a 13‑month didactic phase followed by a 14‑month clinical phase consisting of eight 6‑week rotations covering behavioral health, emergency medicine, family medicine, general surgery, internal medicine/hospitalist, pediatrics, women's health, plus a selective elective.
