91制片厂 PA Faculty, Students and Alumni Celebrate AAPA Conference with Reception at Topgolf
Students, faculty and alumni from 91制片厂鈥檚 (TUN) Physician Assistant Studies (PA) program came together for a fun-filled mixer at Topgolf on May 15.
The event was held during the annual American Association of Physician Assistants (AAPA) Conference which was being held at the Mandalay Bay Convention Center in Las Vegas. Thousands of PA鈥檚 from across the country made their way to Las Vegas to network with their fellow professionals for a week-long conference that included the latest developments within the profession.
A generous gift from Southwest Medical Associates/OptumCare helped make the event possible, and 91制片厂 is grateful for their continuing support.
More than 125 guests attended TUN鈥檚 reception, including students and alumni from Touro University California鈥檚 PA program as well as a handful of community partners.
On a beautiful spring evening, those in attendance were treated to food and drinks while they caught up with former classmates and colleagues. With a pristine view of the backside of the Las Vegas Strip in front of them, they also enjoyed hitting some golf balls.
Dr. Phil Tobin, Director of the School of Physician Assistant Studies at 91制片厂, thanked the enthusiastic crowd for attending the event as they raised their glasses in celebration.
鈥淚鈥檓 glad to see that Touro was so well represented tonight,鈥 Tobin said. 鈥淚t鈥檚 always important for students and alumni to come together to share stories, especially during the annual AAPA Conference. This was a great way to get the week started.鈥
