Physician assistants play a pivotal role in modern healthcare, contributing significantly to team-based patient care. As integral members of healthcare teams, PAs enhance access to high-quality healthcare services for diverse populations and communities. They practice across a broad spectrum of clinical settings and specialties, ensuring comprehensive and personalized care for patients. Studying to be a physician assistant (PA) is a demanding educational experience that leads to an outstanding career. At Clarkson, you'll develop the professionalism, medical knowledge, and clinical skills needed to provide comprehensive care to diverse populations in a variety of clinical settings. The majority of your rotations will be one-on-one clinical experiences in hospitals actively recruiting PAs, with a significant focus on underserved areas. Our PA program features a small class size, fostering more individualized attention and support which contributes to a high graduation rate. Our faculty members bring diverse clinical backgrounds, complemented by local healthcare providers who serve as rotation sites and guest speakers. Clinical training sites span across St. Lawrence and surrounding counties, as well as distant locations.
