The Physician Assistant Program faculty at University of the Pacific is responsible for providing all aspects of didactic education for the Program. Faculty members are integral in all activities of the program and participate in many areas by instruction and by example.

While teaching is the primary focus of faculty at the University, a faculty members workload includes scholarship and service. We aspire to promote student learning within a humanistic environment such that students are enthusiastic about providing scientifically-based, patient-centered care.

Scholarship and professional service are valued by the program and University of the Pacific. The Physician Assistant Program is committed to strengthening the profession through the “development of, and support for, collaborative research and practice-based/applied research.” The intent of this effort is not only to increase the discovery and dissemination of knowledge, but also to focus on faculty and student scholarship and research as part of the University’s overall educational mission.
