How amazing is it that these MBKU students helped vaccinate against COVID-19! Over the weekend, PA and COP students worked together at Soka University to help vaccinate over 2,000 individuals. The event was supervised by COP faculty Dr. Vo, Dr. Mingura, Dr. Yamzon, and several community Physician Assistants.
Way to go SCCO for having the largest number of new Student Fellows in the American Academy of Optometry in 2020! To achieve this, students took time outside of their studies to attend @aaopt events and lectures including over 12 hours of programming, along with CE, poster and paper sessions, residency and graduate program fair, and the exhibit hall over about a two-week period. Although 2020 limited many activities, we’re grateful that students were able to capitalize on the accessibility of Academy events.

It’s hard to believe it's been nearly a full year since MBKU unveiled its University strategic plan back in February 2020. Despite the extraordinary challenges to follow, the University has pushed forward, keeping the MBKU community focused and united through it’s four pillars: student-centered values, being engaged and inclusive, interprofessional culture and approach, and an innovative and contemporary energy. These pillars and the dedicated faculty and administration have truly solidified the family atmosphere of MBKU and established a home for future health care leaders.
As Director of Clinical Education at MBKU’s School of PA Studies, PA Sandra Fineman strongly values personal connections whether it’s with patients, students or colleagues. Her own experience as a young patient helping another galvanized her eventual career as a PA, working tirelessly to build trust with her patients, and ultimately lead her to forging a connection with MBKU’s PA program.
