The Physician Assistant program educates students to become highly-educated and qualified physician assistants. Physician assistants are health professionals licensed to practice medicine with physician supervision. Our curriculum focuses on the advanced study of medicine and public health, along with the principles of community and population-based research, ending with a presentation of a capstone project based on participation in a community-based research initiative. We prepare students to pass the National Commission on Certification of Physician Assistants (NCCPA) examination. Graduates of our program are educated to practice in any field of medicine they choose.
