Austin College PA Program

Austin College PA Program Austin College is planning a 24-month masters-level Physician Assistant program to start in June 2024 pending ARC-PA accreditation.

The mission of the Physician Assistant (PA) program is to engage committed, diverse learners in a student-centered, transformational curriculum that fosters personal growth, builds community, and produces PAs capable of providing high-quality, patient-centered healthcare that reflects the principles of medical humanities and service to others. The ARC-PA has granted Accreditation-Provisional statu

s to the Austin College Physician Assistant Program sponsored by Austin College. Accreditation-Provisional is an accreditation status granted when the plans and resource allocation, if fully implemented as planned, of a proposed program that has not yet enrolled students appear to demonstrate the program’s ability to meet the ARC-PA Standards or when a program holding Accreditation-Provisional status appears to demonstrate continued progress in complying with the Standards as it prepares for the graduation of the first class (cohort) of students. The Austin College PA program is approved by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools Commission on Colleges. The program’s accreditation history can be viewed on the ARC-PA website at https://www.arc-pa.org/accreditation-history-austin-college/.

A positive PA school interview experience matters. Applicants remember how they were treated long after the interview day. Current students play a key role by sharing their experiences, offering encouragement, and helping candidates feel welcome. Together, faculty, staff and students can create an environment that builds confidence, connection, and excitement for the journey ahead.

Study groups also foster collaboration, a skill that is essential in healthcare. Our PA students learn to work as part of a team, share knowledge, and support one another through academic and clinical challenges. These interactions mirror the interdisciplinary teamwork they will experience as future healthcare providers.

Our students had the opportunity to enhance their clinical skills by learning Point-of-Care Ultrasound (POCUS) under the guidance of Dr. Guan. Through hands-on instruction and real-time imaging practice, students gained valuable experience using ultrasound as a diagnostic tool at the bedside. Dr. Guan emphasized the practical applications of POCUS in patient assessment, helping students develop confidence in image acquisition, interpretation, and clinical decision-making. This interactive learning experience strengthened students' understanding of anatomy and reinforced the growing importance of POCUS in modern healthcare practice.
"These Point-of-Care Ultrasounds were funded in thanks to a generous grant from the Discovery Foundation."
