Keiser University was awarded continuing accreditation from the Accreditation Review Commission on Education for the Physician Assistant (ARC-PA) and will undergo its next continuing accreditation site visit in 2016.

The goals and objectives of Keiser University Masters of Science in Physician Assistant program are guided by the criteria set forth in the Standards and Guidelines for an Accredited Educational Program for the Physician Assistant as established by the Accreditation Review Commission on Education for the Physician Assistant.

These guidelines state that the physician assistant is academically and clinically prepared to provide health care services with the direction and supervision of a licensed physician. The role of the physician assistant demands intelligence, sound judgment, intellectual honesty, appropriate interpersonal skills, and the capacity to react to emergencies in a calm and reasoned manner. An attitude of respect for self and others, adherence to the concepts of privilege and confidentiality in communicating with patients, and a commitment to the patient’s welfare are essential attributes.

The ARC-PA is recognized by the United States Department of Education as the official accrediting agency for physician assistant educational programs.
