The Sullivan University Physician Assistant program's mission is to train medical professionals who provide ethical, high-quality, and compassionate medical care while serving an integral role in the healthcare team. This includes increasing access to healthcare in the Commonwealth of Kentucky and the nation. The Master of Science in Physician Assistant (MSPA) Degree program is a rigorous 24-month curriculum consisting of a 12-month didactic phase and a 12-month clinical phase.

The didactic year curriculum builds a foundation for clinical practice and focuses on biomedical, clinical, and behavioral sciences and courses in physical diagnosis and critical thinking. Students may be introduced to clinical settings during the first quarter of the didactic year through shadowing experiences. Students must begin thinking critically and clinically in the second quarter, correlating classroom knowledge to clinical application through problem and case-based learning scenarios. The didactic year's final weeks include written and practical summative examinations — including simulated patient encounters — to assess each student’s preparedness for the clinical year. These examinations must be completed successfully as a requirement for entering the clinical year.
