West Coast University-Texas Master of Physician Assistant students once again demonstrated their skills in medical knowledge, securing second and third place at the Texas Academy of Physician Assistants (TAPA) Student Challenge Bowl.
Competing against 18 universities from across Texas, WCU’s achievement is especially remarkable as all four of its teams advanced to the second round — an honor only six teams earned overall, leaving room for just two teams from other schools.
This success builds on the momentum from earlier this year when WCU-Texas made waves on a national stage at the American Academy of Physician Associates (AAPA) National Medical Challenge Bowl. The WCU team placed in the top 4 percent nationally, showcasing their knowledge and skill in a highly competitive arena. Their strong performance at the AAPA event laid the foundation for the success at TAPA, as students and faculty continued to refine their strategies and expand their expertise.Â
Professor Akisha Dave, who played a key role in preparing both the AAPA and TAPA teams, praised the students’ dedication and hard work.
“It’s been an incredible journey to see our students excel at both national and state levels. Their passion for learning and teamwork has been inspiring,” Dave said.
