This means that those who complete their applications first (verified CASPA application, official GRE score report, three reference letters, the supplemental application, and no more than one prerequisite in progress), are considered for early interviews and admission decisions.
Physician Associate Curriculum
Learning activities emphasize the development and practice of critical thinking, clinical reasoning, self-assessment, collaboration, and culturally appropriate communication skills while preparing students to understand the mechanisms of health and disease and master clinical skills.

The Yale School of Medicine Physician Associate Program is accredited by the Accreditation Review Commission on Education for the Physician Assistant (ARC-PA), maintaining high standards of compliance and achieving excellent graduation rates, while also adhering to the competencies outlined by prominent Physician Assistant organizations, preparing students for comprehensive healthcare provision.
