Alumni Spotlight
Destini Quinones knew back in high school that she wanted to be a physician assistant. When she heard in 2014 that JWU was launching its first cohort in Physician Assistant (PA) studies, she enrolled in a Biology program, sharing her dream with her professors and receiving support in return. After earning licensure as a certified nursing assistant (CNA), she worked to earn enough patient care hours to receive her PA degree from JWU. Now she is equipped to combat our shortage of healthcare professionals!

Before coming to JWU Providence, our professors worked as dietitian nutritionists, physical therapists, anatomists, chemical and biomedical engineers, wellness program evaluators and clinicians.
