General Information

Mission Statement: Using a social justice framework and a public health lens, the mission of the Joint MSPAS/MPH Program is to: 1. Recruit applicants from under-resourced communities and individuals with a demonstrated interest in serving these communities. 2. Educate PAs who will provide culturally sensitive care and advocate for under-resourced communities. 3. Increase access to high-quality care for under-resourced communities with an emphasis on primary care.

Unique Program Features: Our MSPAS/MPH program combines intensive academic training with eight clinical rotations and one public health field study. Your PA education will prepare you to diagnose and treat medical problems, assist in surgery, and write prescriptions. At the same time, your public health education will prepare you to address health challenges at a societal level.
