BA (Hons) Pre-Physician Assistant

... United States
... Lipscomb University

Course Overview

For those searching for a versatile, career in health care, there are many good reasons to consider becoming a physician assistant (PA), one of America's fastest-growing health care professions. Physician assistants have become increasingly important health care team members in the past few decades. Equipped with a Lipscomb foundation, you will be prepared to complete a professional PA program, so that after approximately two graduate years, you will be qualified to begin diagnosing diseases, creating treatment plans, prescribing medications and providing other health care services for a wide variety of patients. Should you have the interest and opportunity to engage in clinical research, your training here can also prepare you for that option.

Our experienced faculty will provide best-practice pedagogy and up-to-date knowledge of the prerequisite content essential to the preparation of successful pre-PA students. You also will have free access to the expert advising, guidance, information resources and scholarship opportunities of the Health Professions Advisory Committee (HPAC). In addition to helping you find relevant experiences to inform your understanding of the profession, we will guide you through an accurate self-assessment, hone your interview skills and write your letter of evaluation.
