The University of Calgary’s Cumming School of Medicine will launch a Master of Physician Assistant Studies program this August. The university hopes to attract applicants from rural and remote communities, Indigenous communities, and equity-deserving groups. Graduates will be eligible for national physician assistant certification and for registration with the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Alberta. “The launch of the Master of Physician Assistant Studies program is an important next step in providing the highest quality frontline practitioners to sustain our people and our communities,” said UCalgary President Ed McCauley. UCalgary says that this program is the first of its kind in Alberta.
