“I picked Touro because a lot of the faculty have clinical experience. They currently work at a clinic and they take that knowledge and apply it into class and teach us.”

Touro Nevada Stories

Meet Our Director

Hello there, future student. I’d like to introduce you to Touro Nevada’s School of Physician Assistant Studies. Our focus with this program is simple: to help you prepare for your future while helping the underserved. We work on multiple philanthropic initiatives in our local community including our mobile health clinic that provides care to homeless, seniors and veterans and our collaboration with the women’s shelter clinic. As a first-year PA student, you will work with real patients from the neediest people in underserved areas of Nevada and be a part of real change.

As a student of this program, you will be prepared for all the positions that PAs work in including inpatient, surgery, and subspecialties within numerous clinical rotation sites. And as the only PA school in southern Nevada, you will be supported in your personal and professional goals with our very involved staff and faculty who will even help you prepare for your national boards as well. Our goal is to ensure that you become a caring and empathetic health care provider.

Thank you for considering the Touro Nevada School of Physician Assistant Studies program.

Best,
Amie Duford, MPAS, PA-C
