Mary Geiser’s life experiences led her to USciences. Unfulfilled in her original career path, Geiser started thinking about what she truly valued—working with people and community service. She was also attracted to the health care work setting. “I found the perfect blend in the Physician Assistant Studies program at USciences,” says Geiser, who points to the program’s early hands-on exposure as another plus. “In my second year, I was already out in the field observing procedures and surgeries in multiple practice settings,” she says. “The experience is intense for a reason. It prepares you immensely for the future.”
