The UW-Madison Physician Assistant Program

The UW-Madison Physician Assistant (PA) Program is a nationally respected professional program at the UW School of Medicine and Public Health (SMPH).
We are committed to recruiting students from rural, urban,and underserved communities, and training them for future primary care or specialty practice in those communities.

Innovative Training

Our program embraces interprofessional education and development of community partnerships. Dynamic, collaborative training experiences serve to benefit students, communities, the state, and beyond.

We are currently collaborating with UW-Marathon County and other medical providers in northern Wisconsin, including Aspirus, Ministry Health Care, Marshfield Clinic, and Essentia Health, to provide PA training in northern and north central Wisconsin. More information about this can be found in the News and Announcements section of our website.

Prospective Students

We offer a highly-regarded two year campus-based professional program and a premier alternative 36-month distance education (DE) track. Approximately 38 students enroll in the PA program each year (28 Campus and 10 DE).

For more information about prerequisites, our curriculum, advising, and how to apply, please visit the prospective students section or contact us.
