When studying to become a physician assistant, the more patient care experience, the better.

Build your skillset, empathy, and confidence in a program that offers you more.

You’ll Be Ready to Join an In-Demand Field.

Learn from subject matter experts with extensive experience in their field of practice and engage in hands-on coursework in Assumption’s brand new, dedicated Catrambone Health Sciences Building, which includes a physical examination lab, and medical simulation center.
