PA Not A Professional Degree... What Does This Really Mean?

2026/07/27

Most have heard about the Department of Education stating Physician Assistant Programs are not a "Professional Degree" and how this can have an impact on your borrowing for a PA Program. And most have heard something about a judge blocking this late last month before it could take effect. However, this is not the final decision, and school interviews are asking what you know about the PA Profession and "current events". Listen to our latest podcast episode to learn more about this and what you could do to help avoid this from being implemented. Physician Assistant Mentor Online

There is no such thing as starting too early and often, when students come to us for help, we find out things they should have been working on much earlier.
