听听世界杯竞猜当前学生的看法
Covid-19 has made my experience with PA school very different from what I had imagined, 但谢南多厄的项目成功地在困难时期继续为学生和教师建立了一个紧密的社区. 思想开放的, approachable faculty has helped me feel more at ease with constantly changing circumstances, and the repeated focus on patient care through our Clinical Integration course, Zoom与患者通话, and covid friendly volunteer events serve as constant reminders as to why I choose PA. While this experience is not what I thought it would be, I am so thankful I am here!
