Our students have been soaking up the sun during our class breaks 🌞

🎗️ The Assumption University PA Class of 2028 is proud to support Dana-Farber Cancer Institute as the beneficiary of this year’s gala fundraiser.

Inspired by our program’s commitment to compassion, empathy, and patient-centered care, we chose Dana-Farber for its dedication to advancing cancer research while providing exceptional care to patients and families. Our gala will take place on September 25, 2026, and 100% of proceeds will directly support Dana-Farber’s mission.

Every donation, no matter the size, helps bring hope to patients and families affected by cancer. Thank you for supporting this cause and helping us make a meaningful impact. 💙

Rheumatology Lab Day 💉

Today we practiced knee and hip joint aspirations, ultrasound techniques, and worked through rheumatology case studies. Such a great hands-on experience to build on the knowledge we’ve gained in the classroom!

A great weekend at the AAPA Conference: expanding our knowledge, supporting our Challenge Bowl team, and making time to explore and enjoy New Orleans ⚜️🐊🎷🎶🦐

2nd Annual Cultural Potluck! Thank you to and for putting this event together. Such a fun time for the Class of ‘28 to bond and share some of our favorite dishes 🍽️
