Thank you Dr. Coogan
The Marquette University PA Program would like to extend its gratitude to Dr. Paul Coogan, MD, for his 28 years of service to the program. Effective January 31st, 2025, Dr. Coogan will be stepping down from his role.
Dr. Coogan has been the sole medical director for the program since its inception in 1997 when it welcomed its first class, which graduated in 1999. Since then, with his help, the program has expanded not only in depth and breadth but in its status in becoming one of the top-ranked PA programs in the nation.
Dr. Coogan also advocated for and led the development of the Marquette-Advocate Aurora postgraduate emergency medicine program into the success it has become. These actions have expanded employment and leadership opportunities for many of our graduates and has benefited the program directly through many becoming instructional faculty for the program, further sharing their knowledge with PA students.
Thanks for all you have done for the program and for the PA profession as a whole!
