The Master of Science in Physician Assistant Studies (MSPAS) program at University of the Cumberlands (Williamsburg) is proud to announce the PA students who received their white coats this spring, marking the successful completion of the didactic (classroom) segment of the program.
Congratulations go to Grace Clancy, of Augusta, on reaching this significant milestone in their PA journey.
The white coat ceremony is a symbolic ceremony marking the transition from didactic learning to clinical studies. PA students complete four semesters of didactic education before receiving their white coats. The ceremony typically occurs during students’ second year of studies.
After the ceremony, they begin the clinical year, comprised of three semesters including ten clinical rotations. During these three semesters, they also complete a professional development course and a capstone research project.
Approximately 27 months after matriculation, students graduate the program, prepared to take the Physician Assistant National Certification Exam (PANCE). After passing the PANCE, they are certified to practice medicine in any specialty they prefer.
University of the Cumberlands is an institution of regional distinction offering quality undergraduate, graduate, doctoral, and online degree programs. For additional information, visit ucumberlands.edu.
