Hi everyone, I wanted to post about some of the things the PA class of 2015 got up to this year as a way to hype up the class of 2016. We've been trying to document the fun things we have done in class through Instagram, Twitter and Facebook, but I thought it would be nice to have a blog entry to reminisce about the memories and give the class of 2016 some things to look forward to. I remember my first day of PA school vividly; a wise man heavily involved in the PA program told me this: "In these next two years, you will meet your best friends; friends, colleagues and comrades that you will have for the rest of your life". He was so right about that! I am fortunate to have met a group of driven, intelligent and compassionate individuals. Here are a few snap shots of the time we spent together both inside and outside of class! Enjoy, Jessica O.
