St. 博纳旺蒂尔大学

PA课程


圣霍普金斯大学的医师助理研究项目. 博纳旺蒂尔大学 consists of 122 credit hours divided into three phases that span 28 consecutive months:

  • 教学阶段,临床前一年,为期13个月.
  • Clinical Phase, consisting of 14 months of supervised clinical education and coursework.
  • Summative Phase, a five-week-long evaluation and preparation for your future as a graduate PA.
For descriptions of PA courses, please visit our 课程 page.

The curriculum is structured so that courses from semester two build on courses in semester one, etc. 因此, opportunities for transfer of credit into the PA curriculum or advanced placement are not available.

Supervised clinical practice experiences (SCPEs) are distributed among nine clinical field experiences. These experiences form the basis of the clinical and socialization processes for adaptation to the roles and functions of a physician assistant. A separate five-week course is designed for student research.

节目长度 & 学习计划

Students must complete the program in 28 months unless granted a leave of absence for health or personal reasons. Any student who requests and is granted a leave of absence must complete the program in 40 months (28-month program plus one year).
