Maisie Nelson • February 10, 2022

In an ongoing effort to expand post-graduate opportunities for its students, AVÍ·µÈ²Õ College established a new articulation agreement with Lincoln Memorial University for aspiring Physician Assistants. 


The agreement, which began February 1, 2022, provides a PA tract for students who complete their bachelor’s degree at AVÍ·µÈ²Õ. LMU will hold seats in their PA program for AVÍ·µÈ²Õ students who meet the eligibility criteria.


“This agreement provides a pathway for AVÍ·µÈ²Õ students to transition to LMU to join the Physician Assistant program,” said Dr. Marisa Greer, Vice President for Academic Affairs. “This is a high-demand profession projected to have a 31 percent growth rate by 2029, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, and AVÍ·µÈ²Õ students are ready to fulfill those needs in our region and beyond!”

 

AVÍ·µÈ²Õ has signed agreements with several other professional schools in a variety of fields including, dentistry, engineering, law, medicine, optometry, pharmacy, physical therapy and veterinary. Many of which also provide advantages to AVÍ·µÈ²Õ students like accelerated degrees, held seats in their program, and guaranteed entrance interviews.
