Program Advisory Panel
The Lynchburg College Physician Assistant Studies Program Advisory Panel consists of a group of practicing physicians and physician assistants that support the development of our PA program.
This group of individuals will meet on a quarterly basis while providing guidance and direction to the program leaders. Various members will eventually serve as instructional faculty as well as assist in the development of supervised clinical practice sites.
