Care for One. Care for All.

You’ll promote the well-being of every patient you serve as a physician assistant, but we don’t want you to stop there. We’ll put you in a position to transform entire communities.

At 黑料网, you’ll develop innovative treatment plans with your peers, put your knowledge to work in an array of clinical settings and extend compassion to high-need areas across the globe. You’ll learn how to bridge the gap where medical services are scarce – and the care you provide as a PA will resonate across generations.

Nurture a Healthy Future

Drive innovation in one of the nation’s top facilities, fast-track your DMSc degree and emerge as a leader in patient-centered care.

Tackle Complex Cases

Collaborate with your peers in small groups to address the medical issues of actual patients. It’s all part of problem-based learning, a teaching approach that emphasizes developing new knowledge instead of memorizing the right answer. You’ll hone your analytical skills and learn to convey complex information with precision and clarity.

“It’s a different kind of experience,” says 2023 graduate Sarah Jane Lance, who’s re-establishing orthopedic care as a PA in Harney County, Oregon. “You’re working not only alongside your classmates but with them, which reflects what you’ll be doing as a practitioner. Being pushed to be in these groups and work through things together is challenging, but it forces you to grow.”

Our vision is to transform the medical field by increasing access to high-quality, affordable care. This is your chance to bring health and healing to those who need it most.

Tia Kinilau

“With the knowledge that I gained through school, I have the kuleana – the responsibility – to go back home someday and take care of the people of my community,” says 2023 graduate Tia Kinilau. “If you take care of the community, it will take care of you.”

Curt Stilp

“The DMSc degree sets the graduate up to be a leader in disaster medicine relief and health care delivery to communities in high need,” says Curt Stilp, associate dean of the College of Medical Science and director of the PA ad DMSc programs. “It brings the mission of humanitarianism and service to fulfillment through advanced knowledge, research and experience.”
