The SIU School of Medicine Physician Assistant (PA) community kicked off August with three key celebratory events that showcased the dedication, achievements and future aspirations of its students and faculty.

The Class of 2024 Master's Symposium displays the Physician Assistants’ final Master's projects in poster format.

The SIU PA Program values diversity. We intend to be proactive in demonstrating cultural humility and ensuring an inclusive and welcoming environment for all persons regardless of race, age, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, gender identity, socioeconomic status, religious beliefs, educational background, military experiences, geographic location, language, and work experience. To fulfill our mission, we give preference to applicants from rural and medically underserved areas in Illinois.

At the April 28 SIU Board of Trustees meeting, School of Medicine Dean Dr. Jerry Kruse announced the physician pipeline program has been renamed in honor of its originator, Dr. Wesley Robinson-McNeese.

The Division of Molecular and Integrative Physiology includes basic research in developmental biology ranging from the early uterine mechanisms necessary for implantation and growth of the embryo to the complex molecular programming of cells in the development of organ systems. Physiology faculty investigate molecular, genetic, cellular and integrative aspects of the development of the central nervous system, stereocilia of the inner hair cells of the ear, pituitary gland, placenta as well as male and female reproductive tracts.

The Division of Molecular and Integrative Physiology includes basic research in the area of endocrinology including elements of neuroendocrinology, molecular and developmental biology as well as reproductive and metabolic physiology. The endocrine system has evolved to integrate the function of cells in different parts of the body. This cell-to-cell communication is essential for numerous physiological processes. Physiology faculty investigate how hormonal cues coordinate development, reproduction, neuronal function and metabolism. Faculty doing Endocrine Research: Lydia Arbogast, Ph.D. Buffy

The Division of Molecular and Integrative Physiology includes basic research in the area of neuroscience ranging from behavioral to molecular to genetic aspects. The nervous system allows an organism to sense and interact with its environment. Amongst the many factors that underlie nervous system function is the capacity of neurons to integrate information from many other neurons, to be excitable, and to modify their function based on experience. Physiology investigators utilize cutting-edge, multidisciplinary approaches to understand how sensory organs, neuronal excitability and
