Admission Guidelines
The DMSc program is designed for PA professionals with 2 years minimum clinical experience or graduation from an accredited post graduate residency who are interested in cultivating clinical, educational and leadership skills. 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.
