I'm not gonna lie... when I went the quality of instruction was "ok"... most of the profs simply reading from power points, we could have done that at home.... nothing groundbreaking/ inspiring/ novel here.... also, and this may be nit-picking, but all the profs are essentially suburban "Long-Island types" which is kind of a shame to be schooling in the city yet not getting a "live and work in NYC" feel from instructors.... HOWEVER... the boon here which cannot be quantified is that you will rotate...

All physician assistant programs prepare you. Pace University is incredibly expensive. Four times expensive as some other New York programs. The quality of education does not meet the cost. The head of the program is defensive and a typical bureaucrat. Nothing about the program justifies the cost. You'd think for $120k+ you might get a PA only study room or free coffee but no dice. Facilities are underwhelming. Cost of living is incredibly high. Rotations can be anywhere in the tristate area. Go... Read More elsewhere.

The Pace University- Lenox Hill Hospital Physician Assistant program is ranked top 50 in the country. Although ranking does not hold much importance when applying for jobs, I truly believe this is one of the best programs in the country. The professors are amazing and want you to succeed. They do everything in their power to make sure everyone in class understands the material and will grow to be the best medical practitioners. The balance between lectures and working in a clinical setting is perfect....

Not only is the coursework excellent but the community service opportunities give everyone a chance to make an impact on the community. This year my class raised so much money for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society's Light the Night walk to end cancer that we were in the top 5 groups to raise the most out of every group in Manhattan that participated! Pace university does not only teach you how to be a Physician Assistant but also how to be a better person. I am so proud to be a part of this institution!
