Today, June 23, marks the 50th anniversary of the date the Title IX bill was signed. The bill provides protection and prevents gender or sex-based discrimination, harassment, and violence – including retaliation against those who report. Title IX applies to all gender identities and sexualities and to all students and employees alike – including clinical rotations and other off-site educational experiences.
 

In response to severe shortages of Sickle Cell Disease (SCD) expertise among health care providers, Networking California for Sickle Cell Care, California’s first and only SCD consortium, has partnered with Marshall B. Ketchum University’s School of PA Studies to create and pilot a six-week certificate elective in SCD for physician assistant (PA) students nearing graduation. The course offers structured lessons and practical application through clinical rotation coordinated by the Center for Inherited Blood Disorders (CIBD).
