Mission

The mission of the Bay Shore Campus/Winthrop Extension Center Physician Assistant Program is to educate capable students to meet the challenges of providing health care services under the supervision of a licensed physician. The program curriculum is designed both to educate its graduates to function as traditionally trained generalists, and to provide enrichment in hospital- based and private office settings. The Bay Shore Campus/Winthrop Extension Center Physician Assistant Program is committed to broadening access to PA education to persons under-represented in the profession, through traditional programming and a nurturing educational environment.
