Jan.
7, 2001 (Lexington, Ky.) -- Faculty
and staff of the University
of Kentucky physician assistant studies program
celebrated the beginning of training of their newest
class of students as well as presented second-year
students a white coat as they embark upon the
start of their clinical experiences.
On Sunday, Jan. 6, in Memorial Hall, the newest
PA class met current students during the program’s
convocation and white coat ceremony. Along with receiving
their white coat, the 55 PA students took the physician
assistant oath.
The PA program, which is the only program of its
kind in Kentucky, is a division of the UK
College of Allied Health Professions. It converted
to a master’s level program in February 2001
after being a bachelor’s program for more than
two decades. This year’s class
includes graduates of 13 Kentucky colleges and universities.
Each January, 55 students are enrolled in the 100-credit-hour,
30-month program.
