“Why Miami?”

“I chose to join Miami’s PA program because of its strong emphasis on developing well-rounded providers who embody professionalism and compassion; values that align closely with my own principles. After meeting the faculty, this decision was only reinforced by their evident passion and dedication to both the program and the growth of its students as individuals. The program’s integration of advanced technology, such as point-of-care ultrasound, along with its state-of-the-art facilities and simulation equipment, is another major asset that sets it apart. I immediately felt that Miami was the right place for growth, not only educationally, but as a future provider.”
