Welcome to the OHSU Physician Assistant Program
The Physician Assistant Program offers a 26-month, full-time course of study leading to a Master of Physician Assistant Studies (MPAS) degree. Our Mission is to serve as a model of excellence in physician assistant education by preparing graduates to provide patient-centered, evidence-based, and culturally appropriate health care to diverse populations, and to promote lifelong learning, leadership, and service. We value diversity in backgrounds, experiences and perspectives and strive to meet the healthcare needs of communities in Oregon and beyond.
