“We are very proud of our high-quality training opportunities. In addition to 12 months of core rotations, our PA students each complete a 7-month advanced “third-year” track in a specialty of their choosing,” says Jessica Vlaming, MS, PA-C, associate program director, Rush University. “With all of this additional training, students feel more confident and prepared to practice as a new-graduate PA.”
