We are very pleased to report that all 36 Physician Assistant students from the Class of 2007 have now taken their national certifying examination and all 36 of them passed on their first attempt! A 100% first-time pass rate is phenomenal–something we’ve only accomplished a few times since the program’s first graduates in 1983. For comparison, national first time pass rate is generally down around 90%-94%. The program is anxious to receive the official year-end report, but in addition to the 100% pass rate, it also appears that our individual student scores are high as are the scores in the various testing areas. Congratulations to the students in our PA Class of 2007!
