Samantha Zak, Health Sciences - Pre Physician Assistant, major
I am going into my fourth year in the College of Allied Health Sciences - Pre-Physicians Assistant program. The University of Cincinnati has provided me with a significant amount of preparation for PA school. UC’s Pre-PA curriculum allowed me to take several high-level courses that not only prepared me well for PA school, but the opportunities I was presented with, such as my job as a research coordinator and a PCA, allowed me to gain experiences outside of the classroom.
