Because of the
popularity of the program and the ARC-PA limitation on the number of students
allowed into the professional phase of the program, we are unable to accept
CASPA (graduate) applications for students wishing to apply for the
2-year Master of Physician Assistant Studies program that begins Fall 2011.
We anticipate that seats
for graduate students will be available for those entering in Fall 2012.
The
application on CASPA's website (www.caspaonline.org)
will be available beginning May 2011.

A PA may work in any field of medicine. Upon completion of the formal educational program, physician assistants are trained to:
The King's College Physician Assistant originated in 1975. King's has graduated over 800 PA's since 1977 with graduates working in all fields of medicine and all over the country.
We have a 99.8% pass rate on the PANCE (Physician Assistant National Certifying Examination) since the beginning of our program.
