What is a PA-C?
Dr. Roland Jacobs, psychiatrist
Emeritus team members
It's the same intense World War II program used to train doctors for the battlefield. This Masters degree program requires thousands of hours of hands on clinical experience BEFORE someone can even apply.
The program emphasizes hands on diagnostics and treatment, so you see a PA-C often in the ER and Family Practice.
The PA-C education happens in a different order. Traditional medical schools are a masters degree followed by three years of hands on clinical residency. The PA programs changes that order with 3,000+ hours of clinical experience first, then a masters degree, followed by a series of clinical rotations.
Physician Assistant programs have spread to every major medical school in the USA. During Vietnam, the program re-started at Duke University when four highly experienced Navy Corpsman returned from the battlefield.
