Overview
Transform your practice and your field
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.
Email our enrollment specialist, Haley Geisler at HNE3@pitt.edu, if you are interested in the DMSc.
