Interim Physician Assistant Studies Director Named
Dear Faculty and Staff,
We are pleased to announce today that Augsburg has named Eric Barth, PA-C, MPAS, as interim director of the Physician Assistant Studies program. Eric has served in the program since 2008, after several years in clinical practice as a paramedic and as a physician assistant. He currently practices as a PA in vascular surgery and emergency medicine. Eric completed his bachelor's at the University of St. Thomas, and his physician assistant training at Trevecca University in Nashville and at the University of Nebraska in Omaha. In his interim director role, Eric will focus on guiding the program through a smooth transition until a new, full-time director is named.
The search for the new program director launched in mid-April and qualified candidates are currently being identified to move forward in the process. Look for additional information in A-mail as that process advances. In the meantime, please join me in welcoming and supporting Eric in this interim leadership role.
