Local student

earns white coat

Thiel College, Greenville, celebrated the inaugural graduating class of 37 Master of Science in physician assistant studies students in late August at the William A. Passavant Memorial Center.

Patrick Kregeloh, of Coplay, was a member of the College’s first graduating class.

Thiel College’s Physician Assistant Studies program began in 2021, with the mission of graduating physician assistants who have the disciplinary knowledge and skills, clinical preparation, and dispositions to provide excellent patient care and serve the needs of their community.

Members of the second cohort were recently presented with their white coats to mark their completion of the first half of the 27-month program at Thiel.

The third cohort arrived this summer.

This celebratory occasion captured the essence of Thiel College’s commitment to fostering exceptional healthcare professionals who will leave an indelible mark on their communities.

As these graduates venture forth into their careers, they carry with them not only the knowledge and skills acquired during their studies but also the values and spirit that define Thiel’s legacy of excellence.
