Welcome Drexel University’s Hahnemann Physician Assistant Alumni!!

Since 1973 the Hahnemann Physician Assistant program has graduated more than 1500 physician assistants. As the first physician assistant program in Pennsylvania, we have continued to bring educational innovation to the program through the dedication of our faculty and staff. Innovations such as the introduction of Personal Digital Assistants (PDA) with electronic resources for all incoming PA students, development and integration of “Violence Prevention” modules threaded through the curriculum, and increasing use of simulation models such as the Student Auscultation Manikin keep your PA program one of the nation’s best.

To keep you updated about the program, we have developed this web page with your interests in mind. Check out the latest W.W. Oaks Student Society activities, review current and past PA newsletters, or give to the David Buck Memorial Alumni Scholarship.
