BUFFALO, N.Y. (WKBW) — More than 100 D'Youville college students are set to graduate early to help reinforce the local healthcare system in this time of crisis.
The college is accelerating programs for students who are in the fields of physician assistant, nursing, and pharmacy.
Right now more than 30 Doctor of Pharmacy students and 81 Bachelor of Nursing students are preparing to enter the workforce early.
