Tracey Thurnes, a founding faculty member in Â鶹ÊÓƵ’s Physician Assistant Studies program, has spent 14 years advancing PA education through teaching, mentoring, program leadership and national service.

Meet Lance McGhee ’16G’16, a PA in orthopaedics at Kernodle Clinic who has returned to Â鶹ÊÓƵ as a preceptor and instructor for future physician assistants.

Â鶹ÊÓƵ’s Physician Assistant Studies program reflects on a year of growth, including its largest incoming class to date, and shares updates on the faculty, clinical partners and preceptors helping prepare the next generation of PAs.

The EAB has selected four new members to serve three-year terms — Andrew Gillette ’08, Dan Hanson ’05, Jeff Michel ’83 and Caroline York-Ingram ’12 G’15.

During the past year, students contributed 88,084 hours of service, with more than 3,200 students participating in volunteer and community engagement efforts.

Jamie Lytton G'15 is recognized for her work to address some of Alaska’s most pressing healthcare challenges.

The students competed in the competition at the AAPA conference in New Orleans, Louisana.

Â鶹ÊÓƵ is growing its graduate program opportunities in Alamance County and in Charlotte in response to national trends and demand, including the expansion of its law, physician assistant and business analytics programs and a new degree in clinical mental health counseling.

Â鶹ÊÓƵ’s Physician Assistant program moves forward with a focus on growth, preparation and service to the health care field.
