Outside employment is strongly discouraged during enrollment in the School of PA Studies (SPAS). Physician assistant education is a full-time endeavor. However, while SPAS approval is not required for a student to start work, the work must not interfere with the student’s education. If SPAS determines that outside employment diminishes the student’s ability to be an effective learner, the student will be strongly encouraged to reduce or eliminate his/her work.
Students are not required to work for the School in any manner, either for pay or volunteer status. The School will not consider any application for full time employment from any student in the program.
