Mission Statement: Pennsylvania College of Technology’s Physician Assistant Program will graduate healthcare professionals who possess the knowledge and skills necessary to excel in physician assistant practice. The program is dedicated to hands-on learning and to ensuring that its students develop the interpersonal skills that allow them to effectively interact with patients and other members of the healthcare team in a manner that is professional, ethical, empathetic, and compassionate.

Unique Program Features: As rigorous as it is rewarding, this program will challenge you to solve complex problems, provide care with compassion, and communicate with clarity.
