Student Employment Policy
Experience has shown that most students are unable to give adequate effort to participating
and studying if they continue employment while enrolled in an intensive and accelerated
program of study. Therefore, employment during a student’s course of study and training
while enrolled in the Morehouse School of Medicine (Ï㽶ÊÓƵ) Physician Assistant (PA)
program is strongly discouraged. We dissuade students from seeking employment while
matriculating through the program. The program will not make accommodations for students
who choose to work. If employment is essential, then the PA Program Director should
be informed in writing of the student’s work schedule. Class meetings missed due to
work schedules will be documented as absences. Absences in excess of three for any
course may result in faculty discipline or dismissal from the program.
