AT Still University
A.T. Still University’s (ATSU), a private non-profit graduate healthcare university, is the founding school of osteopathic medicine, founded in 1892. ATSU has campuses in Missouri, Arizona, California, and online. The ATSU Doctor of Medical Science (DMSc) program provides a PA-specific doctorate degree designed by and exclusively for practicing physician assistants. The program offers concentration tracks in education, leadership, and clinical. The DMSc program can be completed in 2 years or 3 years. The DMSc is designed for PAs who are currently, or have previously been, certified or licensed to practice as a PA. With an asynchronous learning model, the entire physician assistant doctoral program provides highly flexible online learning, which minimizes career disruption while maximizing new opportunities. PAs can continue to practice full-time while obtaining their degree. The DMSc program has NO in-person requirements but we would love to see everyone at graduation!
Please note: Non-U.S. trained PAs, who graduate from the DMSc degree, do NOT qualify to be certified by the NCCPA. According to the current United States Accreditation Review Commission on Education for the Physician Assistant (ARC-PA) requirements "To practice as a PA in the United States one must graduate from an ARC-PA accredited program and be certified by the NCCPA." http://www.arc-pa.org/frequently-asked-questions/non-us-health-care-professionals/
