General introduction to major areas of psychology with emphasis on the psychological bases for understanding human behavior.
A recommended prerequisite to other psychology courses except PSY Designed to help the students who major in one of the allied health areas to recognize, spell, pronounce, and define medical terms correctly.
A study that includes the anatomy of the body as a whole. Emphasis will be on anatomical structures and organizational relationships of the organs and systems of the body. General physiology of each system and the major influence systems have on one another is emphasized. Laboratory studies include dissection of the cat and study of various skeletons, models, and charts.
Designed to introduce the anatomy and physiology of multiple subsystems including the endocrine, vascular, lymphatic, respiratory, digestive, urinary, and reproductive systems. The focus will be on developing a working knowledge of the anatomy and physiology of these subsystems that can then be applied to clinical case studies and laboratory experiments. A major objective of this course is to develop critical thinking skills that are essential for students entering various medical careers where they will serve Christ by serving others.

For assistance in updating hours, please follow these recommendations: Enter a new line item for each experience of additional hours as prior hours entered will not be allowed to be change or edited.
Applicants are expected to have a cumulative grade point average GPA of 3. These scores are believed to indicate sufficient academic ability for successful completion of the program. With large numbers of applicants, not all students meeting the minimum requirements will receive an interview. Candidates should endeavor to obtain the highest GPA and GRE scores possible, and with grades lower than a B, retake courses that would reflect a grasp of the material and a capability of rigorous course work, because entering students in the last three years have significantly exceeded the minimum requirements.
Taking additional upper level science courses are also helpful to show competitiveness. If coursework is repeated, would the admissions committee consider the average of the most recent coursework or would multiple courses be averaged? What are the statistics for the most recent cohort that has matriculated into the program? You can take classes at a community college, but you may want to make sure the classes are comparable to those taken at a university.
Can Abnormal Psychology substitute for the Developmental Psychology prerequisite? No, this is not an acceptable substitution. It is important that normal psychological development across the lifespan be covered in the course. Do you accept online courses or hybrid classes that offer labs on campus and lectures online? Online or hybrid courses can be used to satisfy the psychology prerequisites, but they cannot be used to satisfy any science prerequisites.
Yes, all science courses must be completed within 7 years or less of matriculation. If a science course was taken greater than 7 years prior to matriculation, then a refresher course must be successfully completed.
A refresher course is qualified by repeating the course, or in the case of a 2-semester course, repeating one half of the course. Admissions Coordinator, Physician Assistant Program. Didactic phase: Consists of 15 months of basic medical science and clinical medicine courses. Clinical phase: Consists of 8 six-week rotations to be completed in a month period.
Students are discouraged from employment while in the PA program. Working often interferes with learning opportunities. Asking for time off or for adjustments to the PA program schedule demonstrates a lack of motivation and interest to everyone and may jeopardize the quality of your educational experience. All didactic coursework for the Physician Assistant Master of Science in Medicine degree is required to be taken in person at our Nashville campus.
For this particular program, we believe learning happens best when students can directly interact with professors in classroom and laboratory settings, gaining valuable hands-on training throughout courses and lab exercises. Most clinical rotations occur within 85 miles of campus. Students can choose to participate in a non-local rotation that occurs outside of that range times a year. Housing options are available for those who participate in a more remotely located clinical rotation.
Full-time attendance is required to complete the program. The program is not offered part-time. Students are strongly encouraged to make financial plans accordingly. Students are discouraged from employment while in the PA program, as working interferes with learning opportunities.
Students finish the program prepared to serve their communities in various capacities. Many go on to use their skills in compassionate ministry or service roles. Students are trained to offer patient-centered health care to patients from diverse populations as a part of an inter-professional collaborative team.
The occupation of serving as a physician assistant is projected to grow and provide ample career opportunities in the next decade. According to the United States Department of Labor, as demand for health care services grows, physician assistants will be needed to provide care to patients.

Abnormal Psychology cannot be substituted for the Developmental Psychology prerequisite. It is important that normal psychological development across the lifespan be covered in the course. Mammalian Anatomy can satisfy the Human Anatomy requirement. Due to the competitiveness of the selection process, all applicants are encouraged to take as many additional upper-level science courses as possible.
Not only do the courses provide information on academic performance, but they also assist in preparation for the rigorous program. The successful completion of these additional courses will assist in your competitiveness. Any science prerequisite class taken seven years prior to the month of May of your matriculate year will require a refresher course.
A refresher course is qualified by repeating the full course or, in the case of a two-semester course, repeating at least one-half of the course. An applicant may only be exempt from taking a refresher course if they have consistently worked in an academic or commercial setting as a chemist or biologist--see below , where the material covered in the course was utilized on a routine basis. A description of specific course exemptions is included below. When in question, repeating the course is recommended.
Please contact the program for clarification on specific courses if needed. Pending courses: For an applicant to present themselves most competitively, it is mandatory that two or fewer required science courses be pending for the spring semester prior to matriculation. All applicants must log at least hours of direct patient care. All direct patient care hours must be logged at the time of submitting your application.
This allows the admissions committee to process your application at first review and schedule earlier interviews. In the opinion of the PA program faculty, past medical experience provides a framework upon which students can build and facilitate the expansion of medical knowledge. We do not accept updates sent directly to the program. Positions that do not qualify are personal care assistant, pharmacy technician without clinical exposure, unit clerk, camp counselor, counselor and social worker.
Clinical hours obtained while working towards a prior degree are not to be submitted in the application as direct patient care. Direct patient care hours should be obtained while an employee in one of the above accepted clinical positions.
Shadowing of physician assistants is required for admission. Applicants should log a minimum of 10 hours at the time of application. Shadowing may be logged from multiple physician assistants. All hours logged should be obtained via direct clinical observation and not on the basis of a personal relationship. Mission field shadowing may be utilized as long as you were working alongside a PA in a medical setting. Please do not duplicate shadowing hours as direct patient care hours.
The program will not accept hour updates via email. A total of three recommendations is required. One recommendation must be from a physician assistant. This PA should be one whom the applicant has worked alongside in a clinical setting through observation, shadowing or prior work experience. A certified background check will also be performed prior to matriculation and any positive report is also cause for the revoking of an offer or acceptance.
