Emergency Medicine
Philosophy:
"No one who seeks to educate clinicians can do so without a broad clinical experience. Medicine is more than books. At Le Moyne Physician Assistant Program, we are blessed with experienced clinicians who bring a wealth of clinical accumen with them. I strive, in all of my dealings with students, to be one of those clinicians who can bring years of experience to any question or problem that any student may have, and find a way to make relevant to them. As we used to say when I was in the Army, 'Lead by example.'" |
