Each June, a new class of approximately 55 students matriculate to the University of Oklahoma Health Sciences Center Physician Associate Program. The Admissions Committee selects those candidates who show the most promise of becoming outstanding physician associates and fulfilling the mission of the OUHSC PA Program. We enroll intelligent, mature, and highly motivated students from diverse educational and cultural backgrounds who have the potential to become leaders in our profession.
We review each application individually on its own merit, and admission decisions are based on evaluating an applicant's academic record, personal statements, previous healthcare/hands-on patient care experience, and a formal interview. Only applicants formally interviewed by the OUHSC PA Program Admissions Committee will be considered for admission.
If after reviewing the qualifications for the PA program you are unsure of whether you meet them, please contact the College of Medicine PA Admissions office at 405-271-2058 or infookc-pa@ouhsc.edu. We are here to help and support you as you pursue a career in the health sciences.
