ذكذكتسئµ PA Program Gains Accreditation

OCU University’s new Physician Assistant Program has taken an important step toward national certification from the Accreditation Review Commission on Education for the Physician Assistant, Inc. (ARC-PA).

The ARC-PA has granted Accreditation-Provisional status to the OCU University Physician Assistant Program sponsored by OCU University.

Accreditation-Provisional does not ensure any subsequent accreditation status. It is limited to no more than five years from matriculation of the first class.

“Achieving this status requires a review of hundreds of details about the program,â€‌ said Dan McNeill, director of ذكذكتسئµâ€™s PA program. “Out of all of the details, the reviewers found no areas of noncompliance. This is a great way to start our exceptional program.â€‌

OCU University is only the third institution in the state to offer a PA program, joining OU Health Science Center programs in ذكذكتسئµ and Tulsa. ذكذكتسئµâ€™s program will focus on educating physician assistants with a strong emphasis on providing primary care in community hospitals and clinics. Classes are scheduled to begin in January, with an initial cohort of 36 students.
