Program Polices

Student Employment Policy

The physician associate curriculum is very demanding and is designed for full-time students. Various lectures and labs will be scheduled outside of normal business hours, and students will be expected to flexibly adjust their schedules to be available during these times. We encourage students to avoid any routine work schedules so they can commit themselves to this demanding, full-time course of study. Students are not required to work for the program.

Advanced Placement Policy

The program does not grant advanced placement to any applicants. All students in the program must complete all curricular requirements through Oklahoma Baptist University. Courses that are required as prerequisites to the PA program cannot be substituted for any content within the program.
