GREMAP Alumni Pursuing Clinical Training

Posted on by tomohiroko

Joshua Montgomery was recently accepted into Shenandoah University’s Physician Assistant (PA) program. He will be attending the university’s Scholar Plaza campus located in Northern Virginia. He sees the role of PAs as being essential to help close the gaps in healthcare access, particularly for those who are underserved. The Shenandoah PA  program is a top 25 PA program that emphasizes service to medically underserved populations and a team approach to the delivery of health care.



Tom Ko will be attending medical school at Rutgers Robert Wood Johnson Medical School in New Jersey later this summer. He is very excited and looking forward to exploring the clinical aspects of his research interests cultivated in GREMAP. He is also looking forward to experiencing a new state and fully embracing the NJ lifestyle of pork rolls/Taylor Ham and not pumping your own gas.
