Overview

Physician Assistant Studies are nationally certified and state-licensed health professionals able to practice medicine in collaboration with physicians providing a team-based approach to quality, patient-centered care. PAs conduct physical examinations, diagnose and treat illnesses, order and interpret diagnostic tests, assist in surgery, coordinate care, counsel on preventive healthcare, prescribe medication, and more.

Key facts

PAs are qualified to care for patients in every medical and surgical specialty and setting such as surgery, emergency medicine, internal medicine, pediatrics, psychiatry, and family medicine.

There are two pathways to becoming a PA at Hofstra University's Physician Assistant Studies. One is the freshman dual-degree pathway and the other is as a post-baccalaureate student.

Freshman dual-degree students first complete the pre-professional phase, consisting of three years of collegiate instruction including all prerequisite courses, followed by a two and a half year graduate or professional phase of the curriculum.
