OREM, Utah —The new Master of Physician Assistant Studies program at Utah Valley University (UVU) has received provisional accreditation from the Accreditation Review Commission on Education for the Physician Assistant (ARC-PA). The program’s first cohort will begin in January 2022.

 “The Master of Physician Assistant Studies program will provide incredible opportunities for our students to learn and serve the community while preparing for successful careers,” said Astrid S. Tuminez, president of UVU. “This new graduate program aligns with our strategic goal to be relevant to industry and the community. It also aligns with our core value of exceptional care. I have no doubt that our future Wolverine physician assistants will deliver outstanding care to their future patients and strengthen the healthcare workforce of Utah and beyond.”
