PA school is a wild ride... but not quite as wild as Silver Dollar City 🎢✨

Some of our PAS-1 students enjoyed a day of fun, friendship, and a much-needed break from the books! What a great study break!

Wrapping up our dermatology unit one cookie at a time 🍪🩺 Our PAS-1s traded flashcards for frosting and put their dermatology knowledge to the test by recreating some of their favorite skin lesions with icing on cookies! Special thanks to Professor Cook for the fun end-of-unit activity and to Ms. Donna for making the cookies!

Here’s a quick glimpse into how our PA-S1 students spent their break before jumping into summer semester! Family, friends, travel, and recharging! ☀️

We’re logging off for the long weekend. 🇺🇸

Missouri State will be closed Monday, May 25, for Memorial Day. Wishing everyone a safe weekend as we take time to remember and honor those who served.

Chris Hildebrandt and Emily (Suchanek) Capecchi-Class of 2020

They were getting ready to volunteer at Mercy's MSU Care Clinic here.
Chris is now a PA at Ochsner-New Orleans in Sports Medicine and Orthopedics. He also provides sideline medical coverage for high school football.
After graduation, Emily worked at Barnes Jewish Hospital in Acute and Critical Care Surgery and is now at Missouri Baptist Medical Center working in neuroradiology.
Two great alumni-making a difference in people's lives!

Last night, a few of our PA-S1 students had the privilege of volunteering with Springfield’s Miracle League. This incredible organization gives children and adults with disabilities the opportunity to participate in recreational sports in an inclusive and encouraging environment.
We are grateful to have been part of such a meaningful evening!
