Coursework and Clinic:
The Vital Connections You’ll Make
Curriculum
The School of Physician Assistant Studies is distinguished by its integrated, system-based modular curriculum. There is a strong emphasis on critical thinking, problem solving, case-based learning and evidence-based clinical practice.
The School: Meeting Your Expectations
We prepare and mentor students within an innovative curriculum to provide quality primary and specialty care for a diverse global community focusing on vulnerable, underserved and rural populations.
Clinical Rotations
We highly value our clinical rotations and work hard to ensure their quality. A unique feature of our program is the geographic diversity of our sites; each student will have the opportunity to travel across the nation.
A Day in the Life
Prospective students often ask us, “What is a day in the life of a student really like? How many hours do they study? Do they bring lunch or buy lunch?” So we went straight to the source and asked some of our current students about a typical day. A Day in the Life gives you a glimpse of what you can expect.

What was your favorite thing about our PA program?
I appreciated the routine of each module and the familiarity of the processes. With each module, there was a substantial amount of information to learn and understand; however, the professors tried to make the information digestible.
How did Pacific prepare you for your career?
Pacific held a very high standard for their students academically, professionally, and personally. They expected the best out of their students consistently and it helped me to be ready for practice.
