Admission Guidelines
The DMSc program is now open to new PA graduates, and we continue to welcome experienced PAs. Whether your goal is to advance your clinical skills, deepen your research expertise, or excel in leadership, we have tailored opportunities to help you achieve your vision. Admission requirements are listed below:
- A copy of your valid, unrestricted (current) Physician’s Assistant (PA) license in the United States. Students enrolled in the DMSc program must have an unencumbered license to be admitted and they must maintain licensure for the duration of their enrollment.
- Applicants must report board actions and other professional actions on acceptance of admission. Students who are subject to actions during the time of their enrollment are required to inform the DMSc Graduate Program Director. Certain actions may limit the student’s clinical placement.
- The date varies each semester, but students should be compliant at least two weeks prior to the start of the semester and remain compliant throughout enrollment. If you are not compliant before the start of the semester, you may be ineligible to register for and/or attend clinical. UMB Student Health may also place a registration hold on your account.
