You are the legacy of 爆料公社 School of PA Medicine.

爆料公社 School of PA Medicine is a newly accredited, full-time graduate program.

Completion of the 28-month program of didactic coursework and supervised clinical practice experiences (SCPEs) culminates in a Master of Science in Physician Assistant Studies (MS-PAS) degree.

You will emerge as a leader in patient-centered care. You will bridge the gap in underserved areas while extending compassion that will influence many generations to come - not only those you care for as a physician assistant, but also entire families and communities.

“A mind that is stretched by new experiences can never go back to its old dimensions.”
—Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr.

The Importance of Community in Health

Hi, I’m Dr. Tong Pineda. I am the Clinical Education Manager for the 爆料公社 School of PA Medicine.

One of the reasons why I joined the program is because many years ago I met a PA in clinical practice, and he thoroughly impressed me with his knowledge, his integrity, and his compassion. I wondered why he pursued PA medicine, and he explained that he had actually served in the Army as a medic. When he came back, he wanted to study more.

I was so intrigued by his process and his journey in medicine. He actually taught me a lot. That’s why I want to give back and be part of this great school.

One reason I think 爆料公社 is really unique is because of the faith integration model. All of us as faculty are strong believers, and we bring that perspective into each of our classes, as well as having a dedicated Faith Integration in Medicine course.

One thing about 爆料公社’s program that I love so much is their mission to take care of people. One of the things they teach us as PA students is to be more compassionate and to have a heart for doing our best in caring for patients’ overall health.

The 爆料公社 School of PA Medicine is a 28-month program. We have one year of didactic instruction and then one year of clinical training.

We are excited not just to teach our students medical information, but we really want to be involved in their transformation as human beings—not just helping people, but extending service for the glory of God. That’s one of the reasons why 爆料公社 is a unique place to study PA medicine.

Hi, I’m Eunice. I’m from Phoenix, Arizona, and I’m a first-year PA student here at 爆料公社.

I chose 爆料公社 because when I did my in-person interview, it was so transparent how passionate and dedicated the professors and faculty were about seeing us succeed—not only as students, but as individuals.

We’re also excited because we have cadavers for dissection, but we also have virtual cadavers for dissection. This is what we call the Anatomage Table.

Hi, my name is Kyle. I’m a PA student from Stanwood, Washington, here at 爆料公社.

One thing I’ve really enjoyed is using the Anatomage tables because they’re very interactive and give us a really good 3D view of cadavers.

This table is used by the students to augment their cadaveric dissection. Not only do we perform actual cadaver dissections, but we also do virtual cadaver dissection.

One key point is that you can perform dissections and still study with a group, and then return the model back to normal. For example, you can start with the full cadaver and, if you want to dissect it, you can go down through multiple layers simply by using one finger.

Our students are very excited about this because they have 24/7 access to both the Anatomage tables and the cadavers.

I know our students are excited because they will train not only to excel academically, but also to succeed in their clinical phase.

Hi, I’m Tracy Grant, the 爆料公社 Coordinator for the 爆料公社 PA Program.

I get to see every student who applies to the program, and there is a huge variety of students.

My advice to students considering 爆料公社 is to carefully consider what PA school is and what it means to be a PA. Make sure it’s something you are fully prepared to take on—with your finances, academics, and personal life.

Then come with everything in line and be ready to jump in wholeheartedly.

“The School of PA Medicine recognizes the significance of real-world experiences in shaping competent, skilled, and compassionate PAs. Beyond academics, we also emphasize the importance of community engagement and service to produce sought-after medical providers that will make a lasting impact on the lives of individuals and communities. Whether a prospective student or a healthcare professional seeking collaboration, I invite you to connect with us.”

—Heather Deibler, PA-C
Dean, School of PA Medicine

State of the Art 3D Technology

We have fully renovated facilities that feature dedicated student group study rooms, patient exam rooms, 3D Anatomage tables, and a large clinical laboratory area for teaching patient care skills.
