Employment

Because of the rigor of the academic and clinical education phases of the PA Program, outside employment is strongly discouraged. In the event that a student decides to maintain employment during their program of study, work schedule conflicts will not be an acceptable excuse for missing academic activities. Clinical rotation assignments will not be scheduled to accommodate a student’s employment.

Students may not be employed by the PA Program. While a student may be invited by a faculty member to share his/her expertise in a specific area with the class, a student may not substitute for or function as instructional faculty. During supervised clinical experiences, students may not substitute for clinical or administrative staff.
