Corrigan now works at Johns Hopkins Medicine in orthopedic surgery, where she cares for inpatients during the post-operative period of their recovery and assists in surgery several times a month. Everyone benefits from that rigor; the presence of PAs in a healthcare setting is good for patients, too. Indeed, more than , patients each year in the United States interact with a PA and 92 percent of them credit PAs with greater ease of getting an appointment.
And a study in the journal Medical Care found that there was no difference in the quality of care provided by primary care physicians versus PAs, but PAs were also more likely to offer health education and counseling to their patients.
That flexibility, combined with the potential for lateral mobility within the profession, is a huge draw for many applicants, said Lisa Doron, PA, an instructor of physician assistant studies in Medicine, and a graduate of the program who pursued a PA degree after starting her career as a dietitian.

Weill Cornell Medicine has a legacy of global engagement that is reflected in more than 20 global health programs spanning six continents. Using our state-of-the-art Clinical Skills Center, students are evaluated in the diagnosis and treatment of standardized patients.
Faculty members observe these clinical encounters, and video recordings are available for student review. Mean percent scores for four recent cohorts are as follows:. OSCE 1 and 2 occur after approximately 6 and 10 months of didactic training, respectively.
OSCE 3 typically occurs after clinical rotations, and the variation in mean scores are likely due to differing sequences of core rotations and students' early efforts at focusing a comprehensive patient assessment to include only the most pertinent details.
Any OSCE performance that is significantly below the class mean or is found by faculty to be deficient for any reason is remediated and repeated until mastery is demonstrated. Understanding of surgical sciences as the program places emphasis in clinical surgical training. Students will demonstrate proficiency in the pre-operative evaluation and preparation of patients, operating room skills, and caring for the patients in the post-operative period.
During the preclinical, didactic phase of training, there are three extremely rigorous courses in surgery, its subspecialties and its relationships with general practice. These courses include intense practical training and assessment. In the 3 most recently graduated classes, The following is the pass rate for first-time takers:.
Students are eligible for financial aid for each phase. Students also pay a graduation fee. Please note that this tuition cost is set for the current academic year and is subject to change. If a student has pending financial aid, finance charges are waived and tuition will be deducted as the disbursement of loan money arrives. Your financial aid package will tell you what types of education loan programs you are eligible to accept.
If you have remaining "unmet need," you may need private or alternative loan programs to cover all your expenses. There are scholarships available through the various PA organizations and state agencies. In addition we maintain listings within the department regarding alternative scholarship programs available to our students. Veterans of the Armed Forces may also be eligible for benefits under the G.
Subsidized and Unsubsidized Federal Direct Loans are available with certain terms and limits. Please refer to the Financial Aid Handbook along the left margin of this page for details.
Alternative Educational Loans Program Alternative Loans, also known as Private Loans, help bridge the gap between the actual cost of your education and the limited amount the government allows you to borrow in its program. Alternative student loans are independent of government regulation and can offer various terms for repayment, interest rates, and loan limits. The terms of these loans can vary from lender to lender and you are offered opportunity to choose the loan that fits your situation.
The Weill Cornell Medical College has a list of preferred lenders. While many clinical rotations do not require personal transportation, some do.
This amount is calculated into the annual student budget. For students living "off campus" the anticipated yearly expenses are similar because the cost of parking, insuring and maintaining an automobile substitutes for the cost of room and board "on campus".
Once a student is accepted he or she will be provided with a housing application. Estimated expenses are based on off-campus housing. The Applicant Advisory Sessions for has been scheduled for:. Please include Subject line: Applicant Advisory Session A confirmation email will be sent to you prior to the session. The applicant must self-report the above course information i. It is strongly suggested that all prerequisite course be completed prior to applying.
I was also able to hone my presentation and explanation skills throughout my years there, which help me greatly in my everyday work. WCGS provided me with an amazing scientific foundation, both in the core classes and through my work in the lab. It taught me how to approach a scientific problem by boiling it down to its core components and focusing on confronting the specific issue at hand.
WCGS was the best fit for me because of the large number of faculty who are involved in interesting research. The scientific training we received at WCGS is not only about the detailed knowledge in our specific fields, but also involves how we approach a problem, how we dissect a problem, and how we find resources to solve that problem.
