Employment is strongly discouraged. The Physician Assistant curriculum has been designed to be a full-time activity for students. It consists of a very demanding course load with a great deal of time spent in class and in clinical experiences. There are also many special seminars, films and guest lecturers that may be available to students on relatively short notice. We encourage you to seek outside sources of financial support (scholarships, loans, etc.) so that you may devote as much time as possible to your professional education.
Physician Assistant students may not perform service work within the Physician Assistant Program and will not be substituted for regular instructional faculty or administrative staff. Students are prohibited from substituting for clerical and/or clinical personnel during clinical experiences and clinical rotations. While enrolled in the program, no student may serve as a formal instructor to other enrolled students.
