It is so important to be able to count virtual education as the necessary requirement during this time. Requiring extensions of rotations and preventing graduation will only increase the burden on the health care system. If our class does not graduate, take our boards, and go out and get jobs then the following classes behind us will not be able to start. Medical schools, NP programs, and PA programs will all compete for what little rotations become available.

Guidance is definitely needed in dire times as these, without a delay in graduation. Providing alternatives would help combat this pandemic by providing the dire need of primary care PAs into the field. We are already at a shortage of health care workers globally and making these innoative adjustments would be beneficial.

Let’s figure out how to get the students that have completed their program, Licensed so they can join the team to help save lives!

Students have worked hard to complete these degrees. They want to be an asset to society. At a time when extra medical professionals may be needed, now is not the time to stop them from finishing degrees.

We have the opportunity to make a critical difference in health care right now. Please collaborate with PA schools to find innovative solutions that will allow 2nd year students to graduate on time and be able to contribute to the work force at such a critical time for our country.

I just hope that every one do the right thing and let these students graduate on time. They have worked very hard.

Please let us graduate! We deserve it. Rotations are postponed, we will not get the sites when restrictions are going to be lifted. The other students who are 1st years right now will be coming to the pool of rotations!

Helping these students reach their graduations can only help during this pandemic.

We need all trained medical professionals to be available.

They are integral to our health care system.

I am one of 11 students in my class whose clinical rotation got cancelled and there was nowhere else to send me. The rest of my class is still on their rotations and is still projected to graduate, while I will now be graduating later than the rest of my class for something out of my control. It would only be fair for some sort of exception to be made for those of us who had no choice so that we can still graduate on time with the rest of our class!

Perhaps PA students who have almost completed their training could take their Boards early, and enter the workforce as PAs a couple months early, and help with the huge shortage of medical workers during this ongoing medical crisis.
