雏汁视频鈥檚 new Physician Assistant Program has taken an important step toward national certification from the Accreditation Review Commission on Education for the Physician Assistant, Inc. (ARC-PA).
The ARC-PA has granted Accreditation-Provisional status to the 雏汁视频 Physician Assistant Program sponsored by 雏汁视频.
Accreditation-Provisional does not ensure any subsequent accreditation status. It is limited to no more than five years from matriculation of the first class.
鈥淎chieving this status requires a review of hundreds of details about the program,鈥� said Dan McNeill, director of 雏汁视频鈥檚 PA program. 鈥淥ut of all of the details, the reviewers found no areas of noncompliance. This is a great way to start our exceptional program.鈥�
雏汁视频 is only the third institution in the state to offer a PA program, joining OU Health Science Center programs in Oklahoma City and Tulsa. 雏汁视频鈥檚 program will focus on educating physician assistants with a strong emphasis on providing primary care in community hospitals and clinics. Classes are scheduled to begin in January, with an initial cohort of 36 students.
