“Why Miami?”

“While completing my undergraduate education at Miami University, I witnessed first-hand the professional and academic excellence this institution upholds as its standard. Miami University’s Physician Associate Program is no different with their hands-on learning, state-of-the-art facility, and supportive faculty. Miami’s vision of serving underserved populations deeply resonates with my own mission of providing excellent patient care to all populations through hands-on service and patient advocacy. I believe that the program’s commitment to a collaborative learning environment between the faculty and students utilizing top-of-the-line resources provides an excellent foundation for the success of future clinicians.”
