Overview

Key facts

The academic, or didactic phase, of the Physician Assistant program is 12 months in duration and consists of four components: basic sciences, behavioral sciences, clinical medicine and pre-clinical skills. The academic phase also includes patient experiences designed to enhance the student’s familiarity with the clinical environment. The dual M.P.H./M.S.H.S. plan requires one additional year of academic coursework specific to public health.

The clinical phase consists of a series of rotations in a variety of inpatient and outpatient settings. Students participate in the care of patients under the supervision of a licensed health care provider. Required experiences include inpatient medicine, surgery, pediatrics, emergency medicine, behavioral medicine and an elective rotation.

George Washington University's Physical Assistant program has been nationally ranked as the number five PA program in the United States by US News. We believe this recognition is the result of our outstanding curriculum and our unique community service component that introduces students to health care and social services in the Washington DC metropolitan area.
