Physician Assistant Program

A Physician Assistant (PA) Program trains students to become healthcare professionals who can perform medical tasks under a doctor's supervision. PAs are trained in diagnosing illnesses, developing treatment plans, prescribing medications, and assisting in surgeries. The program typically involves two to three years of intensive education, including classroom instruction and hands-on clinical experience. After graduation, PAs must pass a licensing exam to practice. They work closely with physicians and other healthcare providers to improve patient care, often serving as accessible, versatile members of medical teams to help meet community health needs efficiently.
