Farewell reception for Dr. Jeanie McHugo is Feb. 24

After more than 20 years with the UND School of Medicine & Health Sciences, Jeanie McHugo, Ph.D., PA-C, professor and chair of the Department of Physician Assistant Studies (DPAS), is saying goodbye. In March, McHugo begins her new role as accreditation director for the Accreditation Review Commission on Education for the Physician Assistant (ARC-PA).
To recognize the contributions McHugo has made to both UND and the PA profession in North Dakota, a reception will be held from 3 p.m. to 4:30 p.m. on Tuesday, Feb. 24, in the West Atrium of the UND School of Medicine & Health Sciences building in Grand Forks (1301 N. Columbia Rd.).

“I am incredibly grateful for the experiences and opportunities I’ve had with the UND School of Medicine and Health Sciences,” McHugo said. “This organization and the people within it have shaped my professional journey in meaningful ways.”

Expressing “a most heartfelt appreciation” for UND PA students,” McHugo recalled the “countless moments we have shared and the passion and purpose for serving the people of North Dakota. I am so proud of each and every one of you and what you have accomplished together.”

Refreshments will be provided. The event is free and open to the public.
