The University of Pittsburgh’s affordable, one-year online Doctor of PA Studies (DPAS) program for practicing physician assistants/associates now awards a Doctor of Medical Science (DMSc)!
Our faculty believe this transition from the DPAS to the DMSc provides our graduates with a more recognizable degree in our field and this change supports unity in the profession. The degree change is in name and credential only, and our program will continue to offer the same high-quality curriculum.
Our program application and website are currently being updated to reflect this change. Email our enrollment specialist, Haley Geisler at HNE3@pitt.edu, if you are interested in the DMSc. We will notify you as soon as Pitt's DMSc program application is available to join our January cohort!
Have questions? Sign up for our next information session on Wednesday, November 6 at 6:30 p.m. (select DPAS).
