And if there is a profession that is truer to this than any, it is the PA profession.\u201d<br \/>\nLastly, program director Kevin Lohenry, PhD, PA-C, assistant professor of clinical family medicine, closed the ceremony with an analogy to climbing Mount Everest, just as one graduate, Vanessa Blasic, accomplished during her second year of the program. He noted that it takes a team to achieve success and that even through challenges, the Class of 2017 worked hard and accomplished greatness together.<\/p>\n<h5>By Claire Norman<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<\/div>\n
