Learn Venipuncture in the SIM Lab!

Physician Assistant Students practice drawing blood using mannequin arms in the Interprofessional Simulation and Innovation Center.

As PA student, you utilize our Interprofessional Simulation and Innovation Center to apply the knowledge that you gain in the classroom to realistic clinical situations before putting actual patients at risk.

Guided by skilled instructors, you participate in simulations specifically designed to enhance your clinical aptitudes. Rather than just hearing and reading about difficult or unusual cases, you experience them by treating high-fidelity patient simulators and patient actors in scenarios that mimic real life.

Our M.S.P.A. curriculum is built upon a foundation of science and pathophysiology to foster understanding of disease processes and clinical medicine. You receive two full years of instruction in pharmacology, learn evidence-based medicine theory, and work in small groups to develop the critical thinking skills required to address complex medical and surgical challenges.
