Evaluation: “Ms Wright was an absolute joy to work with. We have medical students rotating through this office that don't have near the level of understanding, motivation and knowledge as Ms Wright does. There was nothing that she did not already know and she thoroughly enjoyed the process of being able to see disease processes clinically . She had all of the appropriate questions, the appropriate test interpretations and the appropriate treatment options in mind. She also was able to participate in performing nasopharyngoscopy and flexible laryngoscopy and became quite skillful ( including even on myself). She will make a wonderful physician assistant.” - MD
