A welcome from the Director of the MSPAS Program

I am honored to serve as the Program Director of the DeSales Physician Assistant Program. I have had the pleasure of being part of the PA program faculty since 1997. The PA program has grown and changed over those 24 years but what has continued is the stellar education our PA students receive. Our wonderful faculty work hard to provide the best didactic education in the classroom as well as the best clinical experiences during the nine 5-week rotations that comprise the clinical year. Our students have early clinical experiences in the first year of the program in order to apply their knowledge learned in the classroom. Our program has exceptional first-time PANCE pass rates at over 99% since the inception of the program.
