Master of Physician Assistant Studies

Program Overview

The Master of Physician Assistant Studies program prepares students for clinical positions as primary care physician assistants. Physician assistants are highly skilled medical professionals who have for over 40 years functioned as members of a team delivering quality healthcare. Working with physicians, physician assistants provide medical services traditionally performed by physicians. These services include taking medical histories, performing physical examinations, ordering and interpreting tests, diagnosing and treating medical conditions, educating and counseling patients, performing minor medical/surgical procedures, and, in most states, prescribing medications. The physician assistant's duties are determined by physician supervision as defined by law.
