Physician Assistant Studies, M.S.

Physician assistants (PAs) are academically and clinically prepared to provide healthcare services as members of collaborative healthcare teams. PAs make clinical decisions and provide a broad range of diagnostic, therapeutic, preventive, and health maintenance services. The clinical role of PAs includes primary and specialty care in medical and surgical practice settings. Practice is centered on patient care and may include educational, research, and administrative activities.
