Build connections between coursework and compassionate practice from the very beginning to build a foundation for a career of making a difference.
As a community-based physician assistant school, we have our fingers on the pulse of the rapidly changing health care environment. Our established affiliations with hospitals, managed-care organizations, medical groups, community clinics and private practices throughout the United States and internationally enable you to apply learning through clinical experiences in a variety of practice settings. The clinical phase of your training will be geographically diverse.
Interprofessional Education As a PA, it will be critical for you to understand the complexity of the healthcare system and to value the contribution of other medical professionals. During your program you will be able to work with students from Pacific’s other Graduate Health Profession programs in interprofessional case studies and other interactive teams. Together you will develop an integrated approach to deal with particular medical cases and learn to honor professionalism through respectful interactions.
