Physician Associate Studies, M.M.S.

Physician assistants/physician associates are licensed clinicians who practice medicine in every specialty and setting. Trusted, rigorously educated and trained healthcare professionals, PAs are dedicated to expanding access to care and transforming health and wellness through patient-centered, team-based medical practice.

Alvernia will offer two pathways to obtain a Master of Medical Science in Physician Associate Studies: a Bio-PA (3+2) accelerated track and a traditional post-baccalaureate track. Alvernia’s traditional post-baccalaureate program is designed for students who have obtained a baccalaureate degree. The Alvernia University Physician Associate Program will welcome its first class in August of 2024! Please refer to our updated accreditation status from the ARC-PA.
