Fayetteville State University
For the last 12 years, I’ve worked in the Fayetteville community as a Paramedic for Cape Fear Valley Mobile Integrated Healthcare. Throughout the years I’ve had the privilege to work with many Methodist PA graduates. MUPAP alum were always prepared and knowledgeable. Their care and compassion were evident and a direct reflection on the program. I also had the pleasure to attend and assist with clinical skills classes. Each time I was on campus, I felt welcomed and comfortable. Staff and students were always kind, approachable, and supportive. My interactions with MUPAP students/graduates were one of the biggest reasons I decided to further my education and pursue a career as a PA.
Methodist was my first choice, my dream program. After applying, I still remember the joy I had when I received an interview! On interview day I was greeted by name and with a smile, this simple gesture helped me to relax and do my best. Everyone was laid back, the process included current students and faculty. It was apparent that the faculty truly cared about their students, eager to learn about them to ensure they were a good fit. The atmosphere and facilities were amazing, including the large cadaver lab devoted to the PA students. I left my interview praying that Methodist would give me a shot, I’m forever grateful they did. The faculty are highly skilled clinicians who love what they do. They push you to be the best version of yourself each day and are always supportive. I am honored to be part of such a wonderful program with superb PANCE pass rates!
