Mission Statement
The Physician Assistant Program exists to prepare professionally competent physician assistants who will use their skills to serve their communities in compassionate ministry. The Trevecca PA Program values experiential differences, service-mindedness, empathy and determination. Our foundation is built on leadership and service, and we hold professionalism, integrity, equanimity, humility and capacity for growth in the highest regard. Our vision is to provide a culture where our students are transformed through their PA educational experience, equipping them to intentionally impact the lives of their patients and community.
Unique Program Features
Our program is the longest standing PA program in TN. Our commitment for 48 years has been to invest deeply in a transformative and supportive experience for our students. For those students with a passion to serve internationally, our program provides international rotations. We offer exceptional facilities including a new health science building and an 8-bed cadaver lab. Our 2023 graduates were the third consecutive cohort to celebrate 100% first time pass rate on the PANCE.
