Physician Assistant MS Testimonials

Chrissy Ready, PA-C

I learned so much about medicine, and life overall, during my time as a PA student. Throughout the didactic phase, I gradually built a strong foundation of medical knowledge that I was then able to apply and advance while out on clinical rotations. During my training, one of my professors encouraged my cohort to stop and ask ourselves, ‘If not you, then who?’ when faced with complex cases. This has become one of my favorite mottos because it reminds me to do my best to go the extra mile when treating patients. As a result, I strive to treat the whole person as a new grad PA, rather than just a disease or diagnosis.

Matt Petersen, PA-C

During my time at UB I was a student working hard, but also a husband and father. I received a quality education and the support from the UB faculty and staff, which enabled me to be successful in my career and a great provider for my family.

Juliana Garofalo

I am a proud and grateful UB PAI student. As I finish my clinical year, I am confident that I am ready to embark on my career because of the excellent preparation I have received at UB. The faculty are dedicated, always going above and beyond to ensure our readiness with a rigorous curriculum and a supportive community. From the cadaver lab and simulation lab to clinical medicine lectures, practicing physical exams and technical skills, and winning the National Medical Challenge Bowl in Tennessee, I could not ask for a better experience.

Megan Anderson, PA

I chose to earn my master’s degree from the Physician Assistant Institute at UB because it seemed like it really prepared PA students well and set them up for success after school. I especially appreciated that I was able to travel for my clinical rotations, as it gave me a very unique experience that most other schools do not offer. My advice to future PA students at UB is to make sure to study hard but also have fun. PA school goes by faster than you think, so enjoy all the memories you will make.
