USask to launch Master of Physician Assistant Studies program

The University of Saskatchewan’s College of Medicine is launching a Master of Physician Assistant Studies program (MPAS). Through this program—which will begin in Fall 2025—clinical professionals will be able to train to work under physician supervision and undertake tasks such as patient assessments, prescribing medications, or performing procedures. “This is a significant moment for health care transformation in Saskatchewan,” said USask Provost and VP Academic Dr Airini. “Our university is proud to be at the forefront of this fundamental change in how health care is delivered in this province.”
