Joy Moverley, DHSC, MPH, PA-C
“We are a really caring team. We keep a small ratio of faculty to students, and I think that is really helpful as you are going through the program. In addition, you are going to find a team of students, alumni, and faculty that really care about the work we’re doing and I think we’re affecting change in our communities.”
Anu Mathur, MS, PA-C
“While other programs offer dual degrees, our students take their public health and PA classes simultaneously. This unique approach allows them to fully grasp the intersectionality of both fields, setting our program apart.”
