Physician Assistant Medicine
Brilliant ideas. Quality care.
The Physician Assistant Program at Weber State University recognizes the evolving healthcare landscape and the growing demand for well-rounded, clinically strong professionals.

Program Technical Standards
It is essential for students to possess the knowledge and skills required to function in a variety of clinical settings. Know in advanced what our program will require to provide this wide spectrum of patient care.
The ARC-PA has granted Accreditation-Provisional status to the Weber State University Physician Assistant Program sponsored by Weber State University. Accreditation-Provisional is an accreditation status granted when the plans and resource allocation, if fully implemented as planned, of a proposed program that has not yet enrolled students appear to demonstrate the program’s ability to meet the ARC-PA Standards or when a program holding Accreditation-Provisional status appears to demonstrate continued progress in complying with the Standards as it prepares for the graduation of the first class (cohort) of students. Accreditation-Provisional does not ensure any subsequent accreditation status.It is limited to no more than five years from matriculation of the first class.
The program's accreditation history can be viewed on the ARC-PA website.

I am excited to see Weber State University invest in the training and education of Physician Assistants. There is growing demand for advanced practice professionals in healthcare and Ogden Regional Medical Center is fully supportive of this program since we see a growing need to hire and utilize PAs in the hospital environment. Weber State always provides an outstanding educational experience for healthcare related programs and I expect and look forward to the same level of commitment and excellence from the PA degree program.
