Orlando Physician Assistant Program

Program Outcomes

Our PA program is committed to continuous improvement through a structured self-assessment process. We regularly evaluate our curriculum, student outcomes, and program resources to ensure alignment with educational standards and evolving healthcare needs. Feedback from students, faculty, preceptors, and graduates plays a vital role in this process, allowing us to adapt and enhance our program to foster excellence in physician associate education. This rigorous self-assessment supports our mission to prepare competent, compassionate healthcare providers ready to serve diverse communities.
