undecided00 Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 I am a pre-pa student looking into a couple of potential pa programs. Most of the program I am looking at offer a bachelors degree. My question is after completing the bachelors are there any bridge type of programs to get the masters. Maybe some sort of abbreviated curriculum or online program? The reason I am asking is because I would like to be as competitive as possible to residencies or the military (I was informed the military only accepts masters level pa-c's, is that true?).

Zeus Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 St. Francis offers online masters while you are in the program (3 people in my class did this program while in school). University of Nebraska offers one once you have graduated from your PA program http://www.unmc.edu/alliedhealth/padlp.htm I am sure there are a couple more I just can't think of them right now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sbellin Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 You need to consider whether you're looking to get a "quick" Masters or get educated when your getting your Masters. I don't think all Bachelors to Masters programs are created equal so I'd shop around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
