Oct. 16, 2013 - Fifty four students recently began the professional phase of the King’s College Physician Assistant Studies program.

The term “professional phase” refers specifically to the full-time 24-month training program which consists of almost 11 months of didactic instruction followed by more than 13 months of clinical rotations.  Upon completion of the professional phase, students will graduate with a master’s degree in physician assistant studies and are eligible to take the Physician Assistant National Certifying Exam through the National Commission on Certification of Physician Assistants.
