Stephen Lewia Jr. serves as Adjunct Faculty in the Doctor of Medical Science Program within the School of Medicine and Health Sciences at the University of Lynchburg, joining the institution in 2023. His role centers on advancing Physician Assistant education through specialized clinical instruction and healthcare systems training.
His academic foundation includes:
- DMSc in Advanced Professional Practice (University of Lynchburg, 2020)
- MPAM (University of Lynchburg, 2018)
- MT and BS in Biology (Virginia Commonwealth University)
Dr. Lewia's expertise manifests in two key domains: Emergency Medicine (validated by his CAQ-EM certification) and Healthcare Advocacy. His teaching synthesizes high-acuity clinical protocols with systemic navigation strategies, particularly evident in PA 916 where students learn to address insurance barriers, social determinants of health, and institutional complexities while maintaining clinical excellence. This dual focus reflects contemporary medical education's evolution toward integrated practitioner-advocate models.
As a practicing PA-C with emergency medicine specialization, he brings current clinical experience to PA 972: PA Practicum II, emphasizing real-time decision-making in acute care environments. His faculty position supports the program's mission to develop clinicians capable of both technical proficiency and systemic intervention.
