We will be accepting applications in CASPA when the application cycle opens on April 29, 2021. Students in our current cohorts are continuing to actively engage with our curriculum.

The COVID-19 crisis demonstrates how critical it is to have patient-focused clinicians nationwide. As the country’s shortage of primary care physicians grows, YSM is bringing qualified health care practitioners to patients with Yale’s program, which blends online classes and coursework with in-person clinical rotations and three immersions on the Yale campus, enabling you to earn a physician assistant degree from YSM without relocating.

The PA Online Program will be accepting applications for the 2022 cohort when the CASPA application cycle opens on April 29, 2021. We invite you to apply to our program. If you have any program questions during what we know is an uncertain time for so many people, please reach out to your admissions counselor.

Students in our current cohorts are continuing to actively engage with our curriculum during the COVID-19 crisis. Our Online Campus has been the central hub for all program activities since our program launched. Therefore, students are continuing to access virtual classrooms and coursework and connect with their peers and instructors – as they have been doing all year.

Moreover, since the program began, YSM faculty have been working with our technology collaborator to turn traditional lectures into engaging online coursework. They therefore are skilled at online teaching and enjoy innovating with content and technology.
