Is it possible to get Physician Assistant degree and a Masters of Healthcare Administration degree at the same time?

I am a pre-med/pre-pa student who is still considering what programs to apply to. I am really interested in a dual master's program with PA studies, but most programs are an MPH (Master's of Public Health). Does anyone know of any dual programs where you can get a MHA?

There might be but I don't see how. In a 27 month PA program, I don't see how you would have enough free time to take the coursework etc for a second masters.

Pacific University did this for a while, but I don't think anyone ever did their dual degree program. Now, they don't even offer an MHA anymore, having rolled administration into their DMSc and DHSc programs, looks like.  You may not want to try dual masters if you can get a doctorate in something for not much more effort or higher cost.
