“Why Miami?”

“I was drawn to Miami because the faculty made me feel so welcome at my interview, and it was evident they are supportive of their students. I also appreciated the curriculum’s emphasis on providing quality healthcare to rural and underserved communities. The Physician Associate program also provides access to advanced resources and trains its future healthcare providers to use point-of-care ultrasound to aid in diagnosing medical conditions more rapidly and at a reduced cost. Miami University’s Physician Associate Studies program provides a state-of-the-art educational environment, creating well-rounded, compassionate, and professional future clinicians.”
