QU PA STUDENT SOCIETY: The Quinnipiac University Physician Assistant Student Society was established in 1994 by the PA students in the first class. The purpose of this organization is to promote academic achievement and clinical excellence and to promote the physician assistant as a member of the health care delivery team. Membership is open to all students in the QU PA program and dues are determined on a yearly basis by the officers and members in the society. A PA program faculty member serves as the advisor and provides insight and direction in all student society activities.
