Employment

Due to the rigor of the didactic and clinical education phases of the PA Program, as well as the demanding schedule, outside employment is strongly discouraged. If a student decides to maintain employment during their program of study, work schedule conflicts are not an acceptable excuse for missing academic activities. Clinical rotation assignments will not be scheduled to accommodate a student’s employment. (A3.14i)

PA students are not required to work for the program. (A3.02)

While a student may be invited by a faculty member to share their expertise in a specific area with their classmates, a student may not substitute for or function as an instructional faculty. During supervised clinical experiences, students may not substitute for clinical or administrative staff. (A3.03)
