Meet Macy Litton, future physician assistant. đź©şđź’š

“I enjoy my program's focus on patient-centered care and being hands-on with treatment. I value the teamwork physician assistants thrive in and love the chance to explore many different specialties.” 💬

Why did she choose Marshall University Physician Assistant Program?

“I earned my bachelor’s here, and the community truly feels like home. The PA program has amazing faculty, close-knit students, and unique opportunities like patient experience with the Huntington VA hospital.”

Her favorite part so far?

“The hands-on procedures — casting, sutures, lumbar punctures — plus the patient interactions at the VA have been incredible!”

Macy’s advice for future PAs ➡️

“Get your requirements done early and be ready for a fast-paced program. It’s challenging but so rewarding!”

You could be next! 🚀 The deadline to apply is Oct. 1 — get your CASPA application in today.

As we approach the end of the Summer Semester, the Class of 2027 students are back in the Clinical Lab to practice their suturing skills. Our annual Sew-N-Go workshop provides our students the time, tools, and talented instructors to help them develop their aptitude for common procedures and techniques for wound closure. Especially with upcoming finals, it is always good to get out of the books and into the lab.

The Marshall University Physician Assistant Program is proud to welcome Mr. Aaron Bailey PA-C, our newest Principal Faculty member.

Mr. Bailey is a son of Marshall University, having graduated with his Bachelor of Science in Biology in 2012. He graduated with his Master’s Degree in Physician Assistant Studies in 2015 from the University of Charleston. He began his career at a critical access hospital working in hospitalist and emergency medicine. He now works in the emergency department of a trauma center. Through these experiences, he solidified his love of rural medicine and the people of Appalachia. Mr. Bailey enjoys spending time with his family, the great outdoors, a good book, and a cheesy dad joke.

In addition, Mr. Bailey has previously helped the program in lab-oriented assessments as well as precepting students, but we are thrilled to have him join the MUPA faculty full-time. Help us welcome him to our ranks!

from the accreditation process or until accreditation is withdrawn for
failure to comply with the Standards. The approximate date for the next
validation review of the program by the ARC-PA will be July 2035. The
review date is contingent upon continued compliance with the
Accreditation Standards and ARC-PA policy.

The program’s accreditation history can be viewed on the ARC-PA
