Physician Associate Studies - Master of Medical Science

Miami University has applied for Accreditation - Provisional from the Accreditation Review Commission on Education for the Physician Assistant (ARC-PA). Miami University anticipates matriculating its first class in May of 2023, pending achieving Accreditation - Provisional status at the September 2022 ARC-PA meeting. Accreditation - Provisional is an accreditation status granted when the plans and resource allocation, if fully implemented as planned, of a proposed program that has not yet enrolled students appear to demonstrate the program’s ability to meet the ARC-PA Standards or when a program holding accreditation-provisional status appears to demonstrate continued progress in complying with the Standards as it prepares for the graduation of the first class (cohort) of students.

The Master of Medical Science degree, Physician Associate Studies, provides academic and clinical instruction necessary to become a healthcare clinician, leader, and researcher, capable of performing within a range of specialties in a dynamic healthcare industry. The degree prepares students to sit for the board examination of the National Commission on Certification of Physician Assistants and to seek state licensure as a physician assistant. This is a full-time program that can be completed in 27 months.
