Happy National Physician Assistant Week! 🩺
ㅤ
We are so proud of our Physician Assistant Studies students and alumni, who show up every day for patients in emergency departments, clinics and hospitals across New York and beyond.
ㅤ
From the simulation lab to clinical rotations to their first shifts as PA-Cs, they lead with skill, compassion and a commitment to care.
ㅤ
A special thank you to the faculty who mentor and train them: Dr. Lorraine Cashin, Dr. Brian Baker, Dr. Nishant Shah, Charles Braun, Lorraine Perrone, Samantha Hellerman, Margaret Montoya, Chana Ladaew, Sondra Middleton and Dr. Khaled Qanud.

That's a wrap on the didactic year for the Katz School's M.S. in Physician Assistant Studies Class of 2027!
ㅤ
Last month, students in the Katz School's PA program gathered with faculty and families to mark the milestone. Dr. Lorraine Cashin, PA-C, Assistant Dean and PA Program Director, offered remarks, followed by the cohort president and vice president and a celebration over brunch.
ㅤ
"Our students finish the didactic year having learned to think like clinicians. I have every confidence in the care they will bring to their patients and to the teams they join at our clinical sites," said Dr. Cashin.
ㅤ
The first year of the 86-credit program prepares students to deliver patient-centered care confidently and competently on interdisciplinary health care teams. Didactic lectures are complemented through hands-on training in state-of-the-art virtual cadaver and simulation laboratories, where students work through simulated patient-care experiences.
ㅤ
The clinical year puts that preparation to work. Each student rotates through eight five-week core disciplines and two five-week electives at clinical sites throughout the New York area, spanning family medicine, primary care, internal medicine, surgery, emergency medicine, women's health, pediatrics and behavioral health.
ㅤ
Wishing everyone the best of luck as they begin the exciting new chapter in clinical year!

Maliha Chowdhury thought she knew what to expect when she began her clinical rotation in head and neck surgery at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center. But just before the rotation began, her family received devastating news: her mother had been diagnosed with a stage-four neuroendocrine tumor and would receive treatment at the same hospital.
ㅤ
She credits faculty support for encouraging her to move forward rather than step away. Working alongside surgeons, physician assistants and nurses, she assisted in complex operations involving thyroid cancer, laryngeal cancer and reconstructive surgeries — serving as a surgical first assistant in procedures lasting as long as eight hours.
ㅤ
But it wasn't only the technical complexity that shaped her education. Watching experienced clinicians communicate with frightened patients and anxious families became one of the most meaningful lessons of the rotation. When a newly diagnosed patient arrived frustrated and directed his anger at her preceptor, the PA calmly answered each question, recognizing that the patient's fear, not hostility, was driving the conversation. Afterward, he shared advice Chowdhury says she will carry throughout her career:
ㅤ
"To be a good provider, you must always remember we are seeing people on their worst days. When they see us, it's not because they want to. It's because they have to, and they need help. We are a sense of hope."
ㅤ
"It's not just about patient care anymore," she said. "It's about building a community during tough times. It takes a village to get through hardship. Community doesn't just come from the hospital, it comes from school, too. The Katz School really became my second home."
