MSU celebrated the graduation of 32 students in the inaugural enrolled class of the Physician Assistant program in the College of Osteopathic Medicine. The 27-month curriculum is a 108-credit Master of Science degree in PA Medicine. The program progressed to 36 students in the second year and plans for 38 students in subsequent years.
“Our first graduating PAs are so proud to add to the long list of national achievements by the Michigan State University College of Osteopathic Medicine,” said John McGinnity, MS, PA-C, professor and founding director of the PA Medicine Program. “The trailblazing PA students worked collaboratively with our DO colleagues from their first semester in school. Now they will lead medical teams to improve access to care and the health outcomes for patients every day.”
