It’s time for another Graduate Student Spotlight! This week’s student is Andrea LaRocque! Andrea is studying for a Master of Science in Physician Assistant, and is one of our fantastic student ambassadors! Andrea enjoys the different aspects of medicine she’s learning through her program, taking a special interest in emergency medicine, cardiology, and infectious disease. Andrea always looks forward to learning something new and useful in her program, and looks forward to applying what she’s seen practically. She enjoys learning alongside her cohort of like-minded classmates, and appreciates the support of the PA faculty. Here’s what she had to say about her program and what she would tell potential students:
