Our Mission

The mission of the Methodist University Physician Assistant Program is to alleviate the shortage of primary care providers which has been especially acute in the counties of southeastern North Carolina.

Our Program Goals

  1. To select the best students available to enter the PA Program.
  2. Achieve greater than a 95% pass rate on the PANCE each year
  3. To recruit students whenever possible from medically under-served areas and from those applicants who are willing to practice in medically under-served areas.
  4. To provide a curriculum focused on issues pertaining to primary care and rural health.

Our Educational Goals

  1. Graduates will possess the didactic and clinical knowledge that is essential for the practice of a physician assistant and which fosters sound judgment, intellectual honesty, critical thinking, the tools for a life-long learning, and career-long pursuit of excellence.
  2. Graduates will possess clinical and technical competence and skills necessary for the practice assistant, understanding that the PA is an integral member of the health care team.
  3. Graduates will conduct themselves in a professional manner; utilize appropriate interpersonal communication skills, personal integrity, and an attitude of respect for self and others.
