Pre-Physician Assistant Program Physician assistants are taught at educational programs located primarily in university schools of medicine and allied health. Most physician assistant programs require 24-28 months to complete, although programs vary in length. Most programs require applicants to have completed a minimum of three years of college prior to admission and to have had previous health care experience. Most successful applicants to PA programs have earned a bachelor's degree as the majority of PA programs are at the graduate level. Prerequisite course requirements vary from school to school. Students are encouraged to consult with their advisor, determine which physician assistant programs are of interest, and pattern their course work to fulfill these specific program requirements. In order to be licensed in Idaho, physician assistants must have a baccalaureate degree. The health science studies degree (see Department of Health Studies) is very compatible with the requirements of most physician assistant professional schools.
