PA Program in Phoenix, Arizona

Physician assistants (PAs) are licensed medical professionals with an advanced degree. They work with patients of all ages in specialty and primary care areas, diagnosing and treating common illnesses and performing minor procedures. PAs are a critical part of today’s team-based approach to healthcare and improve community access to quality care.

Our newly established Phoenix campus, with the second floor built specifically for PA program students, is designed to provide an exceptional learning environment. With innovative labs and advanced clinical training equipment, you’ll be equipped with the tools and knowledge needed for success as a PA. 

To enroll, you should meet the following requirements:

• Bachelor’s degree in any major, with a minimum GPA of 3.0 on a 4.0 scale
• Prerequisite science courses completed in the last 10 years, with a minimum GPA of 3.0 on a 4.0 scale

The most qualified candidates will be invited for an on-campus interview to be considered for admission. A program representative will contact candidates with details. You’ll also be asked to submit: 

• Graduate Record Examination (GRE) scores from the past 10 years
• Three letters of recommendation
• Cleared background and fingerprint checks within 120 days prior to the first session of your enrollment start date

While the Chamberlain University MPAS-Phoenix CASPA window is normally open for the entire CASPA cycle, for the 2026-2027 application cycle, the program will be available in CASPA 6/1/2026 through 4/1/2027

MPAS Policies

There are three documents that include the policies, procedures, rules, and regulations that apply to physician assistant students regarding academic, professional, and behavioral performance. These include the Chamberlain University Academic Catalog, the Master of Physician Assistant Studies Student Handbook and the Master of Physician Assistant Studies Clinical Handbook.

Taken as a whole, these documents should provide the student with the guidance necessary to thrive in Chamberlain’s physician assistant program. The program policies apply to all students, principal faculty, instructional faculty, Program Director, and Medical Director regardless of location. During the clinical year, it is possible that certain program policies will be superseded by those at the clinical site.
