PA Legislative Day 2026 was exciting and busy! A group of faculty and students visited NC Legislators in Raleigh on June 3, along with other students and faculty from various NC programs. A heartfelt thank you to our legislators for passing House Bill 67 which reforms the healthcare workforce to combat medical deserts and alleviates provider shortages. The WUPA team met with Representatives Jennifer Balkom and Jake Johnson, and Senator Mark Hollo. We were welcomed warmly, and appreciate that our NC legislators took time out of their busy schedule to meet with us. WUPA also addressed two important items: a title change from "Physician Assistant" to "Physician Associate" in NC, which has been passed in four states, and pending legislation in two states; and the importance of specifically naming the PA profession in healthcare legislation, workforce programs, and regulatory language. This day is another method of learning how to advocate for NC patients and improving how healthcare is delivered state-wide.

Congratulations to the Class of 2025 for obtaining a 97% first-time PANCE pass rate! And for exceeding the national average of 91%! The Wingate PA faculty and staff are very proud of our students and their success in becoming PA-C's. Since its inception, our program has achieved a 100% PANCE pass rate, meaning every one of our graduates has passed the PANCE on their first or subsequent attempt. A huge thank you to our faculty who educate our students, and our clinical partners who train our students!

Wingate PA students had an exciting and busy day this past Friday! Our Hendersonville clinical students and Blue Ridge Community College 2nd year nursing students participated in an Interprofessional Education Simulation. Students work independently at various stations where life-like healthcare situations are simulated. Students were assigned to stations, such as OR, ED, surgery, ICU, or urgent care, to care for mock patients who had been assigned symptoms and "injuries." Students then had to evaluate the patients and work together to develop a treatment plan. Wingate faculty, Dr. Nicole Drake and Dr. Taylor Fischer, and Blue Ridge faculty observed and helped facilitate the event, ensuring students were learning proper procedures. Students were fortunate to have several Wingate clinical preceptors helping also! A huge thank you to UNC Health Pardee for sponsoring lunch and The Greens of Hendersonville for sponsoring breakfast. Just another day of training the future providers in our community!

One Day One Dog 2026 was a successful day of giving back to our communities! Each spring, the University cancels all classes on one day so students, faculty, and staff can participate in various service projects. This year, the WUPA Class of 2027 participated in working with seniors at assisted living facilities and cleaning up at a healing farm. The Wingate campus students spent the day at multiple senior assisted living facilities playing bingo and other games, crafts, coloring, and even celebrated a birthday with a resident. Wingate students also handed out WUPA swag to the seniors. The Hendersonville campus students spent the day at the Veterans Healing Farm planting, raking, and cleaning up from recent ice and rain storms. Giving back is an important part of WUPA! A big thank you to all who participated in One Day One Dog!

Wingate PA faculty and staff were excited to meet our incoming cohort, Class of 2028, at the open house celebration this past Friday evening. Class of 2028 students were invited to visit their respective campus, Wingate or Hendersonville, and to meet faculty, staff and current students. We are thankful 36 students took time out of their busy schedule to attend this event, including students who traveled from FL, NJ, and WV! The evening included tours, refreshments, WUPA swag, a Q&A with current students, and an overview of the didactic and clinical phases. Of course, the best part was the opportunity for the Class of 2028 to meet each other in person before August matriculation. And congratulations to Makaylie Moore and Makinzi Casto for winning the stethoscope give-a-way raffle! Also a big thank you to the faculty and current students who graciously spent their Friday evening with WUPA!

Give a warm welcome to our newest team member, Prints Albert I, a FlashForge Guider III Ultra 3D printer. Prints Albert boasts an impressive print speed and large build volume that will provide more complex and larger models. Students will benefit from the realistic task trainers that His Majesty will make for years to come. No one is more excited about this addition than Dr. Taylor Fischer, task trainer creator extraordinaire! We predict Dr. Fischer will be spending more time in his lab in the future!
