Physician Assistant Program
The Lewis Katz School of Medicine at Temple University has continued its history of excellence in medical education to deliver a Physician Assistant (PA) training program that leads to a Master of Medical Science degree (MMS).
Predictions of physician workforce shortages have led to innovation in medical practice design and the call for expert physician assistants. This need is most pressing in our historically underserved urban community. When coupled with the School of Medicine’s call for patient-centered, interprofessional education and care, we see an intuitive link between the education of the trainees who will practice in these teams and the eventual practice setting. The master of medical science degree is designed to be completed in approximately 26 months.
