The Physician Assistant (PA) Program at Tri-C has an emphasis in primary care, and is one of over one hundred and thirty PA educational programs throughout the country preparing highly qualified, cost effective health care professionals who not only provide medical and surgical care to the sick, but also promote wellness by providing patient education, health promotion and disease prevention services.
