STUDENTS VISIT ST. JOE'S
Partner Sponsor, St. Joseph Mercy Health System, welcomed 12 Mercy students from Anatomy & Physiology classes to the Simulation Lab at St. Joe's in Ann Arbor this fall. Mercy alumna, Diane Jones '79, shared how a specific experience in her A&P class at Mercy influenced her decision to become a PA. Students viewed interdisciplinary simulations that involved physicians, nurses, PAs, NPs, and respiratory therapists. They also participated in a series of hands-on activities utilizing surgical tools, simulators, and a pig heart/lung. This opportunity will be available to students again next semester.

THANK YOU to St. Joe's for this outstanding experience!
