The Physician Assistant Department offers graduate students preparation to become a generalist Physician Assistant (PA). The PA program is one of the original programs (1972) in the state. Over the past 5 years, over 98% of WMU students have passed the
Physician Assistant National Certification Examination (PANCE) on the
first attempt. The PA program has alumni providing services throughout the United States and many of them have become leaders in the field.
The program is very competitive with greater than 700 applicants per year for 36-40 positions. The didactic phase (first year) is completely taught within the College of Health and Human Services with the clinical phase (second year) utilizing clinical rotations sites throughout Michigan and the surrounding states.
The faculty and staff are dedicated to helping students who have an interest in attending our program. Please review the following web pages and communicate with us through our email addresses.

Eric Vangsnes, PhD, PA-C
