UNMC Physician Assistant Program

Future health professionals in action. 🩺

At the Backstage Pass event, PA faculty member Jen Creps guided students through the art of listening to heart sounds with a stethoscope — offering a hands-on glimpse into the clinical skills PAs use every day.

Backstage Pass is a free, interactive career exploration event hosted by the UNMC College of Allied Health Professions, College of Nursing, and College of Pharmacy. Designed for students interested in health professions, the event provides a behind-the-scenes look at programs in allied health, nursing, and pharmacy through engaging, hands-on experiences.

Teachers, advisors, and counselors are encouraged to bring students to explore career pathways and connect with faculty and staff about preparing for admission into health professions programs.
