Rate My Professor Christopher Howell

Under Howell's direction as associate teaching professor and program director, Miami University's Physician Associate Studies program advanced significantly. The 27-month Master of Medical Science program received provisional accreditation in October 2022 and matriculated its first class in May 2023. Housed in the new Clinical Health Sciences and Wellness facility, the program emphasizes training generalist physician associates for holistic healthcare, particularly serving rural communities and families. In December 2024, the program earned recognition from the Ohio Rural Health Association for its contributions to rural health. Howell's efforts helped establish the program within the Biomedical Science and Clinical Biotechnologies framework, preparing students through modular organ systems-based learning and clinical rotations. His involvement underscores a commitment to interdisciplinary health education at Miami University.
