Empower our Future Physician Assistants
In 2017, 30 students took a leap of faith by enrolling in the brand-new USF Health Morsani College of Medicine Physician Assistant (PA) program. In just a few short years, the program has grown into one of the top-ranked in the country — now recognized as the No. 2 PA program in Florida and in the top third nationally by U.S. News & World Report.
Our graduates go on to serve communities across Florida and beyond — and with a 100% first-time pass rate on the national certifying exam, they’re prepared to lead from day one.
This fall, the PA Class of 2027 will begin their journey in our new, state-of-the-art downtown Tampa medical school building, continuing a tradition of excellence that defines USF Health. As these students prepare to enter the profession, many face financial challenges. Your gift today will help ease that burden.
Gifts to this campaign sponsor each student’s first clinical white coat — a symbol of their commitment to the profession — and support essential student success initiatives, professional development and scholarship opportunities that will help shape their future careers.
What Your Generosity Will Do
“Receiving my first white coat at the Commitment to the Profession Ceremony was an incredibly emotional moment. It marked a turning point where all the long nights and sacrifices suddenly felt worthwhile. That coat wasn’t just a symbol of what I had already overcome but a reminder of why I started this journey and the kind of provider I aspired to become. It made me feel like I was contributing to something bigger than myself and served as a reminder to continue to strive for excellence throughout the rest of the program and beyond. I’m so proud to have been part of a program as ambitious and competitive as USF’s, and I’ll always carry the values the faculty instilled in me into every patient interaction.” — Calle Kosloske, Class of 2025
Through generous donations from our community, alumni, friends and families, we can gift each incoming PA student with their first clinical white coat, embroidered with their name and the USF Health Morsani College of Medicine seal.
These coats are presented during the program's Commitment to the Profession Ceremony, where students are welcomed into the profession by USF Health faculty and take the Physician Assistant Oath.
USF Faculty and Staff: You can give online through this site or complete this payroll deduction form (enter fund #250323, Physician Assistant Program Operating Fund) and have your gift count toward the USF Faculty & Staff Campaign.
Special thanks to our PA program Commitment to the Profession Ceremony Sponsor: Tampa General Hospital.
