Assumption University PA Program Mission Statement
The Physician Assistant Program at Assumption University seeks to recruit and educate highly motivated and intelligent learners striving to exemplify the best practice of medicine in a team-based environment. The program strives to imbue our graduates with the critical intelligence needed to practice high-quality medicine while serving a diverse population with compassion. Through its emphasis on compassion, empathy, and treating the whole person, the Assumption PA program embodies the principles of Catholic social teaching that, as the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops has explained, “human life is sacred and the dignity of the human person is the foundation of a moral vision for society”. The Assumption University PA Program prepares graduates to provide ethical, compassionate, competent evidence-based medical care to individuals, families, and communities in accordance with the principles of Catholic healthcare ethics. Academic excellence, exemplary clinical skills, commitment to service, and principled leadership shall be the hallmarks of the Assumption University PA Program. Its curriculum will be infused with and sustained by the traditional Catholic commitment to reverence for human life and the dignity of every human person.
