Program Director Dr. Marie Patterson: To say that Dr. Patterson is True Blue is an understatement. She has been a Murfreesboro resident since she was 5 years old. She has been a PA for 16 years, 10 of which were spent practicing medicine in the Student Health Clinic on the MTSU campus. “I love the students here, and I love the community in middle Tennessee. It is my goal to have a diverse student body who will increase access to care for the many underserved areas we have. I am so thankful to be back at MTSU and to be involved in this PA program.”
