Michael trained as a Physician Assistant (PA) in the United States and joined us in March 2018. He has clinical experience as a Physician Assistant in Emergency Medicine in the state of Pennsylvania prior to joining us. Michael believes his familiarity with the role of the PA within the multi-disciplinary team will be beneficial for the new wave of PAs in the United Kingdom.
Michael teaches across a range of subjects for the Physician Associate programme. This includes anatomy, applied anatomy, clinical and communication skills, data and imaging interpretation and case-based learning. He also delivers clinical lectures based on diagnosis and management and is involved in course development and assessment. He is the UM4001 Module Lead and our MSc in Physician Associate Practice (MPAP) Admissions Lead. Michael is a Personal Tutor for undergraduate and postgraduate PA students. He also has a role in supporting PA students whilst on clinical placement.
Michael undertook his Bachelor's degree studying Cell Biology & Neuroscience and Psychology at Rutgers University. He graduated magna cum laude in 2010. Immediately following, he undertook his Master's degree in Physician Assistant Studies at the University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey, graduating in 2013. After passing the PA National Certifying Examination (PANCE) in the summer of 2013, Michael began practising as a licensed PA at a rural Emergency Department in Easton, Pennsylvania. Whilst working there, Michael was involved in supervising PA students whilst on their clinical placements. From this experience, he found enjoyment and a desire for further involvement in PA education.
