Physician Assistant Studies
Massachusetts College of Pharmacy and Health Sciences has been preparing students for rewarding careers in the health professions for more than 180 years. As the demand for physician assistants has intensified, MCPHS has developed two Master in Physician Assistant (MPAS) programs.
While MCPHS MPAS programs emphasize primary care medicine, students also acquire experience in the evaluation and treatment of a broad spectrum of medical problems through the clinical clerkships.
