The Special Value of PA Programs in a Time of Change: Christina Robohm, Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center

“We have the ability within our profession to quickly pivot in our educational programs because of their short-term nature. We can set the competency and quickly change curriculum,” says Christina Robohm, Regional Dean at Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center. And that’s just what is happening during COVID as administrators and students adjust to online learning and the integration of telemedicine into daily practice. Robohm believes that shorter educational timeline of 27 to 36 months can also help address critical access issues in West Texas and other rural areas. Listen in as Robohm gives host Shiv Gaglani the details on a major expansion of Texas Tech’s PA program and describes how one of the nation’s fastest growing professions is adapting to and leading change.
