Hi! I was just wondering if anyone here is enrolled in the Physicians Assistant program. It seems very nteresting to me and I just want to knw how it is? I know they just introduced it.

The program is new for the 2008-2009 applicant year, so we don't know much about the program right now.

If you are curious about the program you will need to contact the program director.

Actually, the program is new for this school year. Last time I went to the Campus Health Centre, I met someone in the program who was volunteering there. However, since the program only opened this September, and I met her in October, she couldn't tell me a whole lot about how good the program was, although she was enjoying it.

"The inaugural class began in September 2008, and will graduate in August, 2010." -- Physician Assistant program site.

I'm surprised that there wasn't a lot of info about the program last year...hmmm...

You can find some more information about the program here:

Here's a link to the program's curriculum ...

It looks pretty interesting, but apparently you need to have 2 years of undergraduate work under your belt before you can apply.
