King's College - Master of Science in Physician Assistant Studies (M.S.P.A.S.)

The King's College Physician Assistant (PA) Program is designed to provide sophisticated didactic and clinical training in all areas of general medicine so that students are capable of caring for patients from newborn to geriatrics. The goal is to provide basic skills and competencies upon which the PA can depend and build in the future. After completion of the program, a physician assistant under supervision of a licensed physician will be capable of performing certain tasks heretofore performed by a physician.

The Degree Program
Unlike the other King's College graduate programs, the M.S.P.A.S. program offers classes during the day and is a full-time program. The program may be entered either by undergraduate first-year students as a five-year integrated B.S. /M.S. program, or by individuals with a prior bachelor's degree as a two-year master's program. Upon successful completion of the two-year master’s program, students receive a Master of Science degree in Physician Assistant Studies (M.S.P.A.S.) and are eligible to take the National Board examination for certification as a physician assistant.
