Laura Fraser, MS, PA-C

After graduating from D’Youville’s Physician Assistant Program in 2014, I was determined to return to academia and guide future healthcare providers. The program provided me with a solid foundation for clinical excellence, and I am committed to offering my students the same comprehensive training that I received. I began my academic journey as adjunct faculty in 2018 and have since grown my role to Clinical Assistant Professor, expanding my contributions to the department.

In addition to my academic role, I have been a dedicated member of the healthcare team at a local OB/GYN office since 2015. Working in this field is a true passion of mine, and I consider myself fortunate to practice in an area of medicine that aligns so closely with my professional interests and values. Through both teaching and clinical practice, I strive to make a meaningful impact on patient care and the education of future healthcare professionals.
