Applicants
Welcome!
Thank you for your interest in the OHSU PA Program. The Program is a 26-month, full-time course of study leading to a Master of Physician Assistant Studies degree. A class of 36 students is accepted each year with classes starting in June. The didactic phase of the Program is 12 months; the clinical phase encompasses the final 14 months.
Applications for admission are accepted from April 17 to November 1 through the Central Application Service for Physician Assistants (CASPA). CASPA is your main application to the program. In addition, a supplemental application and general test scores for the Graduate Record Exam are required. Applications are reviewed once all materials have been received. Interviews are granted to those most qualified for the program. Interviews are held on the OHSU campus from October through January. Selections are made on a rolling admissions basis, with the final class decisions made by the end of February. Classes begin in mid-June.
