Physician Assistant Information Session
The Physician Assistant Program at Seton Hill is one of the more rigorous, (5 year) programs we offer. This full schedule of academic and clinical experiences prepares graduates to sit for the PANCE, a single national certification exam developed by the National Board of Medical Examiners and administered by the National Commission on Certification of Physician Assistants (NCCPA).A number of people inquire about the program and they are surprised to see the requirements and time involved in this major.
To be evaluated to be granted an interview the following is required.
A minimum cumulative overall GPA of a 3.0 or better
A minimum re-requisite course GPA of 3.0 or better
Minimum SAT score of 1000 (this is including the Reading and Math portion only of the SAT)
A completion of all pre-requisite courses
A Minimum of 300 hours of healthcare experiences of at least 3 physician assistants in different practice settings
Strong oral and written language skills
Evidence of your ability to complete an intensive program of study and training
GPA’s above a 3.0 are often required to successfully secure a seat.
To learn more about this fully accredited program (Accreditation Review Commission on the Education of Physician Assistants – ARC-PA) I hope you can come to the information session that is being held this Thursday, February 1st at 6:00pm in the Administration Building 407.
