"The Chatham University Physician Assistant Program is truly remarkable. The two years of didactic and clinical education that I received there provided me with the personal and clinical skills needed to perform as a physician assistant both in the hospital and office. When speaking with PAs educated at different programs, it is obvious that this program is quite unique and could not prepare any student better for the real-life challenges and remarkable events that a physician assistant will experience in his or her career."

"Hiring a graduate from the Chatham University Physician Assistant Program was the best investment to our multi-physician specialty practice. Heather was introduced to very complicated patients both in the hospital and clinical settings. She proved to be both educated and confident in her skills and knowledge-base. I would definitely hire another graduate from this program in the future."

"While nothing could totally prepare me for living off the road system 8 miles above the Arctic Circle in Fort Yukon, Alaska, Chatham's PA program was able to give me the skills I need to provide quality primary and
emergency care services to the people of the Yukon Flats."
