We offer three detailed courses – Introduction, Fundamentals, and Advanced – each designed to align with the diverse needs and skills of our students.

This 1-day introductory course is designed to provide a foundational understanding of the professional responsibilities of a Physician Assistant (PA) in the healthcare industry. The course is tailored to the level of a first-year PA student and will cover a range of topics related to the instructor’s specialty. These areas include Suturing, Emergency Medicine, Family Medicine, Surgery, Emergency Care, Critical Care, Internal Medicine or other related fields. We will provide a comprehensive overview of these concepts and their real-world applications in scenarios commonly encountered in a PA program. By the end of the course, you will have a realistic idea of what it takes to succeed in the PA program and a solid foundation for your future studies.

The two-day Fundamentals course is designed to provide you with a comprehensive understanding of selected key medical theories and concepts taught to PA students during their first and second years of study. The course will cover a wide range of topics, including suturing, emergency medicine, surgery, critical care, primary care, and internal medicine. Through hands-on exercises, lectures, and discussions, you will gain a solid foundation in these subjects, giving you the knowledge and skills needed to succeed in your PA program.

Our Advanced Series, open exclusively to those who’ve completed the introductory or intermediate course, is a comprehensive three-day program focusing on advanced concepts. Students cover theoretical patient care techniques and delve into areas like Primary Care, Surgery, Emergency Medicine, and more, guided by instructors specialized in these disciplines.
