Master of Physician Assistant Studies

The OCU curriculum provides twelve months of classroom training presented in a systems-based format. By using this approach, students are able to focus their intellectual energies on cardiology, then pulmonology and so on until all the body s systems have been covered. In addition to the basic and medical sciences, the Program has a specific interest in developing student passion in the medical humanities.The classroom phase is followed immediately by sixteen months of supervised clinical practice experiences in various medical settings and specialties. At least one of the experiences will involve rotating in a charitable clinic providing medical care to our neighbors in need.
