Pre-physician Assistant

 
 

Licensed to Practice

Physician assistants (Pas) are health care professionals – working in all areas of medicine – who are licensed to practice medicine with physician supervision. At Saint Ben’s and Saint John’s, we help students start that journey with a strong science background, immersed in the liberal arts and enhanced with powerful, valuable co-curricular learning experiences.
