There is a wonderful website, PA Forum....The P.A. Resource Center (http://www.physicianassistant.net). They should be able to answer all of your question. But, in a nutshell, it is a 2 year program. Each school has it's own pre-req's, so call, but they mainly consist of bio, chem, o-chem, stats etc. There is a big push toward making schools a Masters level, but there are still some Bachelor's and certificate programs available. Please feel free to PM if you have any questions. Also, definitely check out the website.
