Welcome to The Applicant’s Manual of Physician Assistant Programs. This guide was formulated for prospective students applying to physician assistant (PA) programs and provides specific, pertinent, detailed information about each accredited PA program in the United States as of January 2020. Applicants should use this guide as a primary resource to investigate each
program and to evaluate their own credentials relative to those typically desired by each program. This guide is the first and only of its kind to incorporate all relevant information about each PA program into a single reference, saving the applicant the substantial amount of time it typically takes to explore multiple programs. This guide also provides the applicant with a quick and easy resource that can be referenced throughout the application process.
