Thanksgiving is next week, so no classes 11/27-11/29; The Physician Assistant program saw a huge win by students taking the PANCE; BUMC is holding a blood drive TODAY; Come to MISO & BPSO's December De-stress event on 12/5 for snacks, study tips, and therapy dogs; and more below!
GMS is thrilled to announce that 100% of our 2019 PA students passed the Physician Assistant National Certifying Exam (PANCE) on their first attempt!
 
The first-time taker pass rate for the PANCE exam had fallen this year across many well-known and established PA programs nationally. With that in mind, we are extremely proud of our students for achieving 100%.
 
The program would like to take this moment to recognize and congratulate the faculty effort and teamwork from both the PA and MD programs as well as the students themselves which made this possible . Excellent work, everyone!
