About the program
Overview
Mission statement
The mission of the Physician Assistant Programs is to educate capable students from diverse backgrounds to meet the challenges of practicing medicine in collaboration with physicians and other members of the health care team. The curricula are formulated to sensitize the student to diverse populations and the complexities of healthcare delivery that influence patients and their families. Students engage in community service to foster effective communication, compassion and dedication. We encourage research and create life-long learners trained to utilize evidence to deliver safe, effective patient- centered care to patients and their communities.
Program features
The Long Island PA Program of Touro University offers a 7-semester, 28-month professional program, accredited by the Accreditation Review Commission on Education for the Physician Assistant, Inc. (ARC-PA), on our Central Islip campus or the Nassau University Medical Center Extension (NUMC). Central Islip classes begin in the fall of each year, and in January at the Nassau University Medical Center extension site.
Clinical rotations
The clinical phase consists of nine five‑week rotations covering core specialties such as Emergency Medicine, Family Medicine, Internal Medicine, Surgery, Pediatrics, Obstetrics/Gynecology, Geriatric Medicine, Behavioral Health, plus an elective; the final semester includes PANCE prep, an elective, graduate coursework, a research project, and community service.
