The UTMB PAS program provides students with the basic and
fundamental knowledge, skills, and attitudes for development into
physician assistants. The training program is designed to provide
students with a flexible, broad-based curriculum offering didactic and
clinical experiences in primary care medicine. During the clinical year,
students must plan for the expense of rotations away from campus
(living expenses, transportation, etc.)
Upon completion, students are awarded a Master of
Physician Assistant Studies (MPAS) degree, and may sit for the national
certifying examination to achieve licensure and certification.
