ABOUT THE PA PROGRAM AT OKLAHOMA CITY UNIVERSITY
The Physician Assistant (PA) Program at OCU is designed to produce graduates with a mission to improve the lives of citizens in the communities they serve through a thorough understanding of disease mechanisms, application of critical thought, community service, servant leadership and life-long learning.
Led by faculty who inspire a rigorous, disciplined, and collaborative academic and clinical environment, the OCU curriculum provides twelve months of classroom training presented in a systems-based format. By using this approach, students are able to focus their intellectual energies on cardiology, then pulmonology and so on until all the body’s systems have been covered. In addition to the basic and medical sciences, the Program has a specific interest in developing student passion in the medical humanities. The classroom phase is followed immediately by sixteen months of supervised clinical practice experiences in various medical settings and specialties.
