The Pace University-Lenox Hill Hospital Physician Assistant (PA) Program is an intensive 26-month program that prepares you to become a practicing physician assistant - examining patients, ordering diagnostic tests, prescribing medications, and developing treatment strategies.
- Excel in a highly competitive and rapidly growing field - Graduates of our program have a 5-year aggregate pass rate on the National Certification Exam (PANCE) for first-time takers that is consistently higher than the national average.
- Integrated curriculum and innovative advanced degrees - The PA program offers an integrated curriculum that takes a holistic approach to healthcare. Preclinical training exposes students to multiple disciplines simultaneously, so the learning experience is analogous to the manner in which they will practice.
