PA Program Entrance Requirements

Entrance requirements at each PA program will vary, however several items are the same, such as PA programs look for students who have a desire to study, work hard and like to serve their community. 

Most physician assistant programs require applicants to have previous health care experience and some college education. The typical applicant already has a bachelor's degree and approximately 4 years of health care experience. Commonly nurses, EMTs, and paramedics apply to PA programs as they are familiar with PA from working with them.
