EAST LONGMEADOW – Dozens of first-year graduate students in white lab coats lined the entry to the Philip H. Ryan Health Science Center in East Longmeadow. Each of the students in Bay Path University’s Master of Science in Physician Assistant (PA) Studies program waited in turn to shake Congressman Richard Neal’s hand as he arrived to announce nearly $3 million in funding for the university’s health programs.
The first of the two grants that were announced provides $1.5 million from the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA)’s Primary Care Training & Enhancement (PCTE) program.
