Overview
Mission statement

Program features
Throughout the 24-month, Master of Medical Sciences (MMSc) program you will be challenged with an innovative curriculum inspired by the future of the Physician Assistant profession. You will be immersed in small-group learning, technical skills, and technology that includes high-fidelity patient simulation, augmented reality telehealth, and ultrasound while remaining grounded in service, cultural sensitivity, and whole person healthcare.
