On behalf of the faculty, administration, staff and student body, we are delighted to welcome you to the University of South Florida (USF), Morsani College of Medicine (MCOM), Physician Assistant Program (PA Program).
The USF MCOM PA Program is currently considered a developing program by the Accreditation Review Commission on Education for the Physician Assistant (ARC-PA). The program has applied for Provisional Accreditation and is scheduled for a site visit on June 30, 2014 by the ARC-PA. Results of the Provisional Accreditation site visit will be released in October 2014. Program preparations continue with the intent to accept prospective student applications if we are granted provisional accreditation after that date and ready the facility for the Charter Physician Assistant Class to begin in May 2015.
This handbook has been developed by the faculty of the MCOM PA Program to assist you. It contains Guidance statements and Procedures of the Morsani College of Medicine, as approved by the Physician Assistant Program Director and the Dean of the College. The procedures relate to student activities as well as hints and advice to facilitate your experience and helping you through some potential trouble spots while you are in the PA Program. We hope that you find it useful. If you have questions or need clarification, please contact the Physician Assistant Program Office, MDC 900, 813-974-8926. This Handbook is not a contract between the University and you. Rather it is intended to provide up-to-date information, which may be helpful to you.
*Policies and programs presented in this handbook are subject to change at any time. As changes occur in institutional policies that affect students, they will be notified via e-mail.
