Preceptorship

At SDN, we value the comprehensive development of our PA students. Sarah Lentz, a PA student from Arcadia University, received hands-on surgical experience as part of her preceptorship, directly applying her skills in a clinical setting, gaining valuable insights into the field. Each experience plays a crucial role in their professional growth and preparation for their future careers.
