Misericordia University has initiated a new graduate medical education program in 2018.  The Master of Science in Physician Assistant Studies (MSPAS) degree requires successful completion of a transformative 25-month medical education curriculum. The curriculum is composed of 22 didactic year courses and 9 clinical year courses, totaling 105 graduate credits. The program will grant a Master of Science in Physician Assistant Studies.
