The UD Physician Assistant Club is an organization of
students dedicated to preparing ourselves ideally for
the increasingly rigorous process of gaining admission
into one of the 300 accredited Physician Assistant
(PA) programs in the United States. With recent
changes in health care policy and a demand for more
patient-provider interaction, the PA career is projected
to grow by 30% in the next decade. However, less
than one of every five qualified applicants is accepted
and matriculated each year into a PA program. PA
Club aims to improve the odds of our members by
helping to develop an informed strategy while at UD.
PA Club will introduce members to regional
professionals in the healthcare arena, help to
coordinate volunteer experience, connect students to
campus resources, and contribute in any way it can to
help members achieve their long-term goal of being a PA-C.
