Tennessee PA Students on TV

Published March 26, 2008 5:39 PM by Stephen Cornell

Knoxville, Tenn., television station WBIR did a good two-minute news segment about PA students at South College.

The first Master's degree program at Knoxville's South College features hands-on instruction for an occupation in high demand: physician assistant.

About 72,000 physician assistants practice in the United States. That number is expected to grow as the population ages, and demand for medical care increases.

Students in the program at South College work in a realistic lab putting in an I.V. line, checking vital signs, and trying to find out what's wrong with a patient.
