General Information

Mission Statement
Driven by a submission to and passion for the Word of God and the Testimony of Jesus Christ, the Cedarville University PA Program equips Christ-following graduates through academic excellence, professional distinction, and intentional discipleship to practice medicine to meet the needs of those in their communities. The program integrates the University's core values (love for God, love for others, integrity in conduct, and excellence in effort) and strives to develop in its graduates the key markers of excellence (glorifying God, thinking broadly and deeply, communicating effectively, developing academically and professionally, and engaging for Christ). In summary, our mission is equipping and discipling the next generation of Christian PAs.
Unique Program Features
