Overview

Assumption University is currently in the process of developing a master’s level Physician Assistant Studies Program in our School of Health Professions. We anticipate enrolling the first cohort in January of 2024.

Key Features

The 28-month Physician Assistant program will prepare its graduates, throughout the 12-month didactic and 16-month clinical phases of the program, to enter the health care field with the education and skills required to provide compassionate and highly competent care to every patient they serve. Your Assumption PA education will highlight the empathetic component of health care. The understanding that each patient is an individual to be cared for, and not just a disease, is fundamental to our mission.

PAs are medical professionals who collaborate with physicians as part of the health care team. They conduct physical examinations, diagnose, and treat illness and injury, order and interpret lab and diagnostic tests, perform medical procedures, assist in surgery, provide education and counseling, and make rounds on patients in hospitals and nursing homes. All 50 states and the District of Columbia allow PAs to practice medicine and prescribe medications. PAs work side-by-side with physician team members in all medical specialties.
