PA students are often unfairly deemed less essential personnel than medical students. Please consider installing similar recommendations for PA students as the medical student community.

Missing 6weeks of clinical rotations is not going to drastically change how I practice medicine as someone who should be graduating in May 2020

We’re going to need these health care providers to help take care of people.

Third year PA Student at UMKC anticipating graduation this coming May 2020. PLEASE consider allowing graduation to take place as scheduled. We’ve come so far and worked so diligently. Thank you for the consideration.

Please support the students who have put in hundreds of clinical hours and are ready to join the work force to treat patients especially in times like these.

PA-S3 set to graduate in May 2020. Please allow alternatives to clinical experience so that I can graduate and help in this crisis.

Let us get out and help! We are prepared and educationally qualified to do a lot more than just stay at home waiting to go back to rotations. This past week I have been helping both of the physicians in the family practice clinic I rotated at tremendously by gathering quality history and physicals as well as writing notes for their well patients while they focus more on their I’ll patients. They thanked me daily for my help and were sad to see I have to be removed from my current rotation. At this point in our education, with only a few months from our scheduled graduation we are eager and willing to help and are qualified to do so. Let us be part of the solution please.

The school and whoever else is part of the decision making process, needs to be aware that the world is on lockdown! We're all living under uncharted times. For anyone to hold PA's accountable or anyone else for that matter during this crazy time, is incredibly unreasonable and truly hasn't watched literally hourly updates from the leading authorities on infectious diseases from the White House on cover-19!! These are extenuating circumstances beyond anyones control! You must be flexible & reasonable and realize that the PA's have only mere weeks left before they graduate and have met the core critiria to permit them to complete & graduate on time. Whatever's left can be done online, but to hold any of them to the hours needed from their rotations that were taken away from them due to the current situation, is absolutely absurd and needs to be re-evaluated. The staff must live in a bubble or under a rock for any one of them to not make ANY exceptions, is ludicrous!!! It shows they're not looking out for the students, but only themselves and whatever the school is responsible for. WAKE UP! Hey news flash... we're in a pandemic!! Prove to your students that you understand their struggle and frustration and stand with them on the side of right! Fight for them or your school could be in jeopardy!! What student in their right mind, would want to go to a school that ignores their every plea, that never makes exceptions and holds them to ALL the original curriculum hours in order to graduate, when they're literally at the tail end of their education, where they can almost touch their diploma's with he tips of their fingers, is beyond cruel! For a school that isn't adaptable in the middle of a global crisis, is a school that isn't looking out for their students best interests and will ultimately fail! Do the right thing and excuse whatever hours that were abruptly taken away from them, move ahead with their board preparations and let them graduate on time!!!
