国产主播 Center for Graduate Studies students Madelyn L. and Hayley G. attended the American Academy of Physician Associates (AAPA) Conference in Denver, Colorado, one of the largest national gatherings for current and future Physician Assistants. As the only representatives from the WCU Center for Graduate Studies in Los Angeles, CA, the pair embraced the opportunity to connect with students, alumni, recruiters, and healthcare professionals from across the country.

Though many attendees were unfamiliar with WCU or the hybrid model of PA education, Madelyn and Hayley proudly shared their experiences, helping spread awareness of the rigorous and innovative program. 鈥淧eople we spoke to had no idea what our program was or even really about hybrid programs,鈥� Hayley said. 鈥淚 think we were able to share both the pros and cons of a hybrid modality, because it’s so new overall in PA education, and explain how we’re able to still meet excellent academic standards while being hybrid.鈥�

Beyond networking, the students immersed themselves in a variety of educational lectures and workshops tailored to PA students. 鈥淚t was awesome,鈥� Hayley said. 鈥淚t was so much fun. It was really nice to see people who are in the profession, who are excited to see other students excited about the PA profession.鈥�

Hayley also noted that the experience re-affirmed her motivation for attending WCU. 鈥淲hen you’re in PA school, everything is so intense,鈥� she noted. 鈥淵ou’re just kind of in this hole, and you forget what you’re actually working towards. So that was really cool. It was just a great representation of how important PAs are in so many aspects of healthcare.鈥�

While they didn鈥檛 compete in the Student Bowl, they attended as enthusiastic spectators and took note of what would be needed to organize a future CA-based WCU team. They also explored opportunities with organizations they encountered at the conference, building connections they hope will support future WCU students.

For both students, the experience was not only professionally enriching, it was personally energizing. 鈥淸Attendees] were doing all sorts of amazing things out there and really representing our careers and our importance and what we can do in healthcare,鈥� Hayley said. 鈥淚t really got me excited for my future.鈥�

The 国产主播 School of Pharmacy held its second annual open house this January to give prospective students a tour of the campus and hands-on demonstrations of some of the skills they would master as doctors of pharmacy.

鈥淚 hope that students can appreciate what we have to offer here at 国产主播, being the only accelerated hybrid program here in this part of the country,鈥� WCU Pharmacy Dean Kurt Wargo said. 鈥淚t’s a fantastic opportunity for them to see the campus, see what we have to offer, and then decide that this is the school they want to attend.鈥�

After a brief introduction, attendees were broken into groups to tour the campus, including stops to see classrooms, the campus library, the retail pharmacy lab, and the newly opened physician assistant suite, where pharmacy students undergo simulation activities to practice scenarios in a hospital setting. The tour’s highlight was the group鈥檚 visit to the compounding lab, where students combined ingredients like bee鈥檚 wax, sweet almond oil and lavender extract to produce homemade lip balm.

鈥淏eing an accelerated hybrid program, students can graduate in approximately 33 months,鈥� Wargo said.
