Physician Assistant Studies
The Master of Physician Assistant Studies (MPAS) degree program in Baylor University’s Robbins College of Health and Human Sciences seeks to educate and prepare compassionate healthcare leaders within a Christian environment through academic excellence, science, and innovation while dedicated to expanding access to health and wellness through team-based, patient-centered medical care.
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.
