Stony Brook University is well known for its exceptional
high quality of standards. The program has been challenging and the
courses really pushed you to the limit. I don’t think that there
is anyone who can say that they didn’t grow as a person as a
result of attending the program. I realize that by being a PA it will
require an extraordinary amount of maturity and responsibility and
this program has really helped me prepare for the challenges that lie
ahead.
The class is pretty small and it is very
hard not to look at your fellow students as a family. The support I
have received from my fellow classmates has been wonderful as many
individuals go out of their way to help one another. Looking back on
the year, I can say that the experience has been priceless! |

I worked at Winthrop
Hospital for about four years and I heard over and over again from
doctors, nurses, and other PAs that Stony Brook was the best PA Program
in the state, if not one of the best in the country. It was a "no-brainer."
This year I’ve meet students
from several other programs and it is very clear that SB students
are extremely well prepared.You may never work harder in your
life. The mental toughness that it takes and the confidence you
gain by "getting through it," can only make you a better
person. |
As a resident of Long Island, I’ve always been aware
of Stony Brook’s excellent reputation for health care education. They’re
known not only for their research, but also for graduating talented and well
prepared clinicians.
I don’t think I could’ve been taught anything else this year. Clinical
rotations start in a few weeks, and although this time can be a little intimidating,
I know I’ve been given the tools I need to be successful.
I’ve learned more this year than I think I ever have, both academically
and personally. I really thought there would be no room left for anything other
than the medicine that’s crammed in, but oddly enough, there has been.
Most importantly, this year has really helped me appreciate this field, and
it has made me even more excited to become part of it. |

Stony Brook has a long
standing reputation for outstanding medical education and offered opportunities
that other programs did not. After being an EMT for almost 10 years,
I wanted to further my medical knowledge and experience to provide
more help for those in need.
The noncompetitive classroom environment
provided a great atmosphere for students helping other students
in various subject areas. The faculty and students were always
willing to give 150% to help other students get through difficult
material.
The gross anatomy course that we
took our first year was phenomenal! We had full cadaver dissection
which made learning the material exciting and more tangible.
The Physiology/Basic science departments were thorough and always
available for additional questions. |
