North Carolina College Considers New Physician Assistant Program
Campbell University is thinking about developing a PA program, according to the Fayetteville Observer.
BUIES CREEK — Campbell University officials are considering adding a physician assistant degree program in 2011, according to a release from the school.
Physician assistants provide a broad range of health-care services under the direction of a doctor and are able to prescribe medications.
The program would consist of a master’s program in Physician Assistant Studies, which would include basic medical, behavioral and social science; introduction to clinical medicine and patient assessment; supervised clinical practice; and health policy and professional practice issues.
My prediction that the number of PA programs will soon exceed 150 is looking pretty good, I think.
