New Physician Associate program granted accreditation-provisional status READING, PA--Alvernia University's Master of Medical Science in Physician Associate Studies program has been granted Accreditation-Provisional status by the Accreditation Review Commission on Education for the Physician Assistant (ARC-PA). Accreditation-Provisional is an accreditation status granted when the plans and resource allocation of a proposed program that has not yet enrolled students appear to demonstrate the program's ability to meet ARC-PA Standards or when a program holding Accreditation-Provisional status appears to demonstrate continued progress in complying with the Standards as it prepares for the graduation of the first class (cohort) of students. "The granting of Accreditation-Provisional status is a testament to our commitment to excellence in health sciences education," said Leamor Kahanov, Ed.D., senior vice president and provost of Alvernia University. "This achievement underscores our dedication to addressing the growing demand for skilled healthcare professionals and enhancing healthcare access in our community." Alvernia offers two pathways to obtain a Master of Medical Science in Physician Associate Studies: a Bio-PA (3+2) accelerated track and a traditional post-baccalaureate track. Alvernia's traditional post-baccalaureate program is designed for students who have obtained a baccalaureate degree and will welcome its first class in August 2024. Read more...
