PA Program Goals

Kansas State University PA program will:

1. Recruit and select a diverse class of highly qualified applicants who successfully complete the program.
2. Provide students the knowledge, skills, and competencies required for entry-level clinical practice.
3. Prepare students to provide medical care to a diverse patient population.
4. Encourage civic responsibility with professional and community involvement.
5. Strive for and encourage graduates to obtain their first job in the state of Kansas.
6. Prepare graduates to meet or exceed the national first time PANCE pass rate

Upon completion of an entire cohort cycle, the program will provide documentation of success in meeting these goals. A link to that documentation will be posted here and updated each October following graduation of the first cohort.

Program Outcomes

1. The program expects to have a graduation rate consistent with the national average of PA programs.
2. The program expects to have an attrition rate consistent with the national average of PA programs.
3. 100% of graduates will be employed or actively engaged in a project utilizing their PA training (for example, medical missions) or enrolled in a post-graduate residency/fellowship within six months of graduation.

Outcomes will be updated in February of each year following graduation of the first cohort.
