Why a hybrid approach to learning?
Baylor’s Master of Physician Assistant Studies (MPAS) program is offered through an innovative hybrid format that combines online learning experiences, intensive on-site lab immersions, research curriculum, and Supervised Clinical Practice Experiences (SCPEs). The curriculum prepares students to provide patient-centered care and collegially work on collaborative medical teams in an interprofessional environment, establishing a strong foundation in health information technology and evidence-based medicine and emphasizing the importance of remaining current with the changing nature of clinical practice.
