Master of Physician Assistant Studies - MPAS
Program Description
The MPAS Program is an entry-level, graduate degree program for students desiring a career in healthcare as a PA. PAs are licensed medical professionals who practice medicine in collaboration with licensed physicians and in teams with other healthcare providers. They evaluate, diagnose, and treat patients by taking histories, performing physical exams, and ordering and interpreting laboratory and diagnostic studies. PAs also prescribe medication, counsel patients, make referrals to specialists, and certify health status.
The MPAS Program at St. Catherine University prepares competent, well-rounded PAs with a focus on primary and patient centered-care, emphasizing ethical practice and leadership. The MPAS foundation of study is aligned with the mission and liberal arts goals of St. Catherine University, as well as the standards outlined by the ARC-PA, the National Certification Commission for Physician Assistant Examination Content Blueprint, and the Competencies for Physician Assistant Professionals.
The MPAS Program uniquely prepares students through coursework that is constructed in an integrated fashion and in which “thinking like a clinician” is a foundational component from the very beginning. Clinical reasoning exercises and problem-based team learning provide optimal and efficient methods for adult learners. Practical application, early and frequent interactions with clinical experts and clinical settings, and collaboration with Program faculty and fellow students create a positive learning environment and strengthen the links between foundational knowledge and expertise in providing competent, compassionate patient care.
Students are enrolled in a full-time consecutive course of study for 28 months, commencing each fall. Students graduate in December earning a MPAS degree and are then qualified and well prepared to sit for the National Certification Examination required for state licensure and clinical practice.
Degree Program
St. Catherine's MPAS program is a full time, focused course of study that consists of 110 credits and an aim for over 2,000 clinical hours. Courses run full time during fall semester, J-term, spring semester, and summer session. The full-time curriculum takes 28 months to complete and is divided into three sections: 14 months of didactic courses, 14 months of supervised clinical experiences and a concluding senior seminar.
The 14-month didactic phase of the program covers traditional medical content that is organized around body systems, patient populations and practice settings — with an integrated approach incorporating many traditional “stand-alone” medical courses such as anatomy, pathophysiology, clinical medicine, patient evaluation and management. These courses are delivered one course at a time. Evidence-based medicine courses are semester long and delivered in tandem with integrated didactic courses.
The didactic phase is followed by 14 months of clinical clerkships. The 14 months of clinical experiences are divided into clerkships of equal lengths in the areas of: family medicine, pediatrics, women’s health, general surgery, internal medicine, emergency medicine and mental health. Two rotations of elective time and two senior clerkships allow St. Kate's students the opportunity to customize their own learning with a focus toward specific areas of interest, global perspectives, or strengthening areas of self-assessed weakness. Clinical clerkships take place at many practice locations and affiliates. The program concludes with a senior seminar designed to polish and present student portfolios and enhance a student’s preparedness for the national certification exam and for employment as a PA.
Program Goals
The MPAS program strives to:
-
Prepare competent and compassionate PAs ready for clinical practice.
-
Deliver an innovative and integrated curriculum that emphasizes clinical reasoning, team-based care and scholarly practice.
-
Foster leadership and program engagement.
Student Learning Outcomes

Accreditation
The Accreditation Review Commission on Education for the Physician Assistant (ARC-PA) is the national accrediting agency of PA Programs. The ARC-PA has granted Accreditation - Continuing to the St. Catherine University PA Program. The next accreditation review is scheduled to take place in 2025.
Years to Complete the Program
Students typically complete the program within 2.5 academic years of initial enrollment and must complete in 5 years.
Degree Requirements
In addition to fulfilling University requirements and following all University policies for graduate Program standing and progression, students enrolled in the MPAS Program must observe the following progression requirements:
- Adherence to all course prerequisites;
- Adherence to codes and standards of the PA profession, and demonstration of professional behavior;
- Maintenance of good Program standing, as defined by the University;
- Successful completion of the didactic phase of the Program;
- Demonstration of adequate formative competence on the Formative Evaluation prior to entrance into the clinical phase of the program;
- Successful completion of all core clinical clerkship courses prior to taking the Program summative evaluations;
- Successful completion of the Evidence Based Medicine I and II, CCQI course, clinical clerkship courses and summative evaluations; and
- Demonstration of competence in all eight MPAS Student Learning Outcome categories on the Summative Evaluation;
- Approval for graduation through completion of a graduate exit interview with positive recommendation from Program principal faculty.
Progression Policy
Successful progression through the MPAS Program is based on scholarly achievement, demonstration of clinical competence, and personal and professional qualities for the practice of medicine as a PA. Student performance attributes in some areas are objective and can be directly reflected in course grades. However, other performance attributes are less objective and are not as easily reflected in course grades. These attributes are defined in the Professionalism standards outlined above. Academic grades alone are not sufficient to warrant promotion within the Program or for graduation from the Program.
The MPAS faculty will evaluate all students in the MPAS Program at the end of each fall, spring and summer term, and following the Formative Assessments, to determine the students’ progression through the Program. The faculty will review the student’s file that consists of scholarly achievement and personal/professional qualities related to the practice of medicine as a PA. Faculty members involved in the education of PA students may be contacted regarding a student’s performance in classroom and clinical settings for further input. Information disclosed during student meetings with faculty, coordinators, clinical instructors, Program administrators or school administrators will not be kept confidential if the information raises concerns about professional performance. Faculty and/or coordinators will share pertinent information with each other for the professional purpose of identifying student issues and enhancing problem solving about the concerns. The information is shared only with the individuals that need to be involved in the particular situation.
Sources of Evidence
Evidence of meeting academic and professional criteria in the MPAS Program may include, but are not limited to, any of the following:
-
Academic grades;
-
Feedback from faculty, staff, clinical instructors;
-
Performance in oral and written assignments, examinations, labs, or other appropriate course work;
-
Attendance record; and
-
Signed receipt of the policy manual.
Didactic Phase Progression
In general, all systems-based courses must be completed before moving to population-based courses, and all didactic population courses must be completed before a student moves to care setting-based courses. Failure of 2 courses may result in academic dismissal from the Program. Students who have had multiple remediations, (component, course, or combination of these) are at risk for failure to progress or academic dismissal from the Program. This is outlined in the Remediation section. Students must pass or successfully remediate every course in the didactic phase and pass or successfully remediate the Formative Evaluation before progressing to the clinical phase unless an alternative/conditional remediation schedule is recommended by the Program.
Clinical Phase Progression
All required clinical rotations must be satisfactorily completed as judged by the Clinical Coordinator before the student is recommended for graduation from the Program. If the student is not performing at an acceptable clinical or professional level at a rotation site and is either removed or dismissed from the site prior to the end of the rotation due to poor performance or unprofessional behavior an investigatory process will be completed by the Clinical Coordinator. The student will have to repeat the rotation in its entirety unless allowed to return and complete the rotation with a passing grade. In addition, the student will be subject to an appropriate Level Review and may be subject to dismissal from the Program.
Students who fail a clinical clerkship will be given a Level 2 review and placed on Academic Probation. They are required to repeat both the clerkship and the associated coursework. Students must discuss their performance with the course coordinator who will guide the plan for remediation through the AIP. A student who fails to pass the repeat clinical clerkship reassessment may be subject to academic dismissal. In addition to the ongoing evaluation and discussion of student progress at regular faculty meetings, the overall academic standing of each student is reviewed at the end of each academic semester.
Discipline
Levels of Review
Levels of Review are the structure used for academic performance or professional behavior issues. The level assigned to a review indicates the seriousness of the concern. A student will normally progress through the Levels of Review in a sequential order, however, an instance may arise in which the incident is determined by a faculty member to be serious enough to warrant an immediate Level 2 or 3 Review.
Level 1 Review
When a faculty member (usually the advisor) has a concern about a student meeting academic criteria or related to professional behavior or academic performance, the faculty member will hold a meeting with the student. Additional faculty (such as a course coordinator) may also be present at the meeting. The Remediation section below outlines further details regarding academic Level 1 review. In this information gathering process, the faculty member will:
- Discuss the concern directly with the student and seek to work with the student to resolve the difficulty; and
- Notify the student’s advisor in writing, if not the advisor.
- Faculty hold the right to invite additional faculty members deemed necessary for the concerns at hand.
Document in writing the dates, topics and plan discussed with the student and place documentation in student’s advising folder. In many cases, meetings between faculty and students resolve the concern(s) and do not lead to further reviews.
Level 2 Review
When a student is not meeting or following a Program or University standard, policy, or procedure, OR when concerns have not been resolved from a Level 1 Review, a Level 2 Review will be initiated. A Level 2 Review involves the student, the student’s advisor and the appropriate third-party faculty member. If a problem arises in the clinical setting, the Clinical Coordinator will contact the clinical instructor for input before the meeting. The Remediation section below outlines further details regarding academic Level II review.
In this information gathering process, the faculty member will determine the nature of the concern, and gather sufficient information to develop a written plan to address that concern if one is needed. No further action may be required or the student may be asked, in writing, to modify his or her behavior and/or seek appropriate assistance. This process is designed to assist students in dealing with identified concerns that have an impact on their performance. Written documentation is kept in the student’s advising file.
The faculty member will also assess and maintain documentation and decide if it is necessary to conduct a more comprehensive review or a move to a level 3 review.
Level 3 Review
When repeated patterns are identified with students or when the issues are serious enough to require formal consultation with other faculty and the student, or when the student is being considered for dismissal from the Program, a Level 3 Review is initiated. The Remediation section below outlines further details regarding academic Level 3 review.
The Level 3 Review participants will include 4 members of the MPAS department in addition to the faculty member bringing the concern: the Program Director, Medical Director, the phase Coordinator (didactic or clinical) and the student’s advisor. If a faculty member has two roles, another faculty participant will be appointed by the Program Director. Most often, a level 3 review is sufficient to deal with student performance issues and is the final step in the MPAS review process.
Students must be notified of the Level 3 Committee decision in writing within seven calendar days of the review. It is the responsibility of the Program Director to communicate the decision to the student.
Probation, Suspension, and Dismissal
Based on a Level 2 or 3 Review and conference, the student will be informed of the decision in writing, which may include one or more of the following actions:
No conditions
Continue the student in the Program with no conditions. In these situations, the concern has been addressed and no further action by the student or Program is required.
Referral
Consult with and/or refer to the Dean of the Graduate School. If a referral is made to the Dean’s Office after consultation, the student will be notified in writing about the nature of the concern and the fact that the referral is taking place. Situations which may result in referral to the Dean include academic dishonesty, hazing, racial or sexual harassment, possession or use of firearms or other weapons on University property, damage or destruction of University property, and conduct that endangers the health or safety of any University student, employee, or campus visitor.
Probation
Probation establishes formal conditions for the student’s continuance in the Program. Probationary status may be placed by the Program and/or the University. Grounds for being placed on academic probation may include, but are not limited to:
- Failure to maintain a cumulative GPA above 3.0;
- Requiring more than 4 core component remediations (OSCE and/or written exam) or 2 course remediations;
- Course failure; or
- Lapses in professionalism that prompt a Level 2 Review.
During the probation term, the student will:
- Meet with his or her advisor prior to the beginning of the term to review the situation and to plan the steps needed to be removed from probation; and
-
Meet with his or her advisor during the probation term to monitor progress and to address any difficulties.
During the probation term, the advisor will:
-
Monitor the commitments made in the student plan; and inform the Program Director if recommendations are not being followed.
During the probation term, the Program Director will:
-
Verify and report to the student any failure by the student to supply the plan or meet its goals and to give the student warning that a failure to meet the plan’s goals will lead to termination.
Dismissal
In some situations, it will be recommended that the student no longer continue in the MPAS Program. The student may be counseled to withdraw from the Program. If withdrawal is not advised, or the student does not accept that recommendation, the student will be dismissed from the Program. In either case, the student will be provided with documentation regarding the specific reasons for their dismissal and the conditions, if any, under which they may return. Grounds for Program dismissal include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Failure to raise the cumulative GPA above 3.0 at the completion of two academic Program semesters of probation (this includes the summer session);
- Requiring more than 6 core component (OSCE and written) remediations;
- Two course failures;
- Failure to successfully remediate the Formative Evaluation;
- Failure to meet conditions established in an AIP or probationary terms; or
-
Lapses in professionalism that are not corrected on an improvement plan, or are so severe that a patient is placed in jeopardy.
Student Appeal
Students have the right to appeal a dismissal decision on the grounds of procedural error through the St. Catherine University by contacting the Dean of the Henrietta Schmoll School of Health Sciences.
Reinstatement
The program does not reinstate dismissed students. If a student is dismissed, they have the right to petition the dismissal decision.
Procedure for Readmission
Students wishing to be considered for readmission must apply through the Central Application Service for Physician Assistants (CASPA). Such students will compete with other applicants in the current admissions cycle. If readmission is subject to conditions of a dismissal, those conditions must be met prior to application. There is no guarantee of readmission. Once readmitted, the student is subject to whatever requirements are in effect at the time of re-entry.
Students are expected to maintain a cumulative GPA greater than or equal to 3.0. Multiple types of assessments are utilized within each of the courses and clerkships.
Didactic Phase
Each didactic phase course defines certain components (written exam and OSCE) as “Core.” Successful academic progression through the Program requires a student to pass or successfully remediate every course. A passing grade for didactic phase courses requires:
- Achievement of 75.0% or greater in each Core component (written exam and OSCE); and
- Entire course cumulative score of 80.0% or greater.
Each Evidence Based Medicine course requires a course cumulative score of 80.0% or greater for passing.
Clinical Phase
A passing grade for clinical phase clerkships requires:
- Entire course cumulative score of 80.0% or greater; and
- A passing score (75.0% or greater) on the Clinical Instructor Evaluation(s).
Remediation
Failure to meet any requirement for passing in the didactic phase courses will result in remediation. Students are responsible for monitoring their grades. After component/course grades are released, the student is responsible for emailing both academic advisor and course coordinator to discuss scores that require remediation attention. Failure to contact advisor and course coordinator in a timely fashion (by the end of the next academic day) is considered a violation of professionalism.
Scores that require remediation are as follows:
In the case of a Core component (written exam and/or OSCE) score less than 75.0%, that component will be remediated. In the case of other assessments (practical exam, anatomy exam, 1:1 case) score less than 75.0%, that assessment will be remediated. In the case of a course cumulative score less than 80.0%, the remediation terms will be determined by the advisor in consultation with the course director.
Timing of remediation is as follows:
Early remediation must occur prior to completion of the following course. Efforts will be made to complete the early remediation as early as is feasible, ideally within the first week of the following course. If all passing requirements are met after early remediation, the final cumulative course score will not be adjusted any higher than the original cumulative score, or 80.0% if the final cumulative score had been less than 80%.
If an early remediation of a non-core assessment (practical exam, anatomy exam, 1:1 case) is not successful, late remediation is not necessary. However, a meeting with the student’s advisor, course coordinator, or an appropriate Level review may be initiated.
Late remediation will occur after completion of that term if an early remediation of a core component(s) (written exam and/or OSCE) is not successful. In the case of a course that concludes at the end of a term, late remediation timing will be determined by faculty. will be conducted in the first week of the next term. If all passing requirements are met after a late remediation, the final cumulative course score will not be adjusted any higher than the original cumulative score, or 80.0% if the final cumulative score had been less than 80%. Failure to meet all passing requirements after late remediation will result in course failure and a Level 3 Review. All remediations must be completed prior to formative examinations.
Counting Core Component and Course Remediations
Remediation attempts for core components and course, both early and late, each count as one remediation. Students requiring 2 core component (written exam and/or OSCE) remediations will receive a level 1 review and an Academic Mentoring Plan (AMP) may be devised. Students requiring 4 core component remediations or 1 course remediation will receive a level 2 review and be placed on an Academic Improvement Plan (AIP). Students requiring 6 core component remediations or 2 course remediations will receive a Level 3 Review and be placed on Academic Probation. Exceeding 6 core component remediations or 2 course remediations may be grounds for dismissal from the Program (see Dismissal section of policy manual)
Counting Non-Core Component Remediations
Successful passing/remediation of non-core assessments (practical exam, anatomy exam, 1:1 case) is important in demonstrating mastery of knowledge and skills. Non-core component remediations will not be counted toward level review criteria. Students requiring multiple non-core component remediations, in either similar or different assessment types, may be asked to meet with their advisor, course coordinator, and/or other faculty to gather information, provide mentoring, and determine if additional support is needed.
Faculty advisors may initiate an advising meeting and development of an Academic Mentoring Plan (AMP) in the setting of persistent or concerning patterns of component remediations or low component scores (core and/or non-core).
Individualized interventions and outcomes will be determined through shared decision-making. Students may be referred to one or more of the following as needed:
- Tutoring services;
- Student Accessibility and Accommodations office;
- Course Coordinator or specific instructor;
- Program Director; or
-
Mental health counseling services.
Remediation Failure
If a student does not pass a core component or course remediation attempt, a Level Review II may be conducted and the student may be placed on Academic Probation. The student must meet with his or her advisor and the Curriculum Director or Course Coordinator, who will determine and oversee the student’s remediation through an Academic Improvement Plan (AIP). The AIP will specify a specific study plan and timeline and terms for discontinuing Academic Probation. Failure to pass a late remediation will result in course failure and a Level 3 Review. Successful completion of the late remediation allows for passing the course and continued progression in the Program.
Clinical Evaluations
Clinical instructor Mid-Rotation and Final Evaluation of Student Performance: The student is to remind and encourage the clinical instructor to perform a mid-rotation evaluation to point out strengths and weaknesses that the student has demonstrated during the first-half of the rotation. In this way, students are able to work on those areas of weakness for the remainder of the rotation. The clinical instructor is responsible for evaluating student performance during the clerkship at the end of the clerkship as well, and is encouraged (but not required) to discuss this evaluation with the student prior to the completion of the rotation. Students are evaluated on their basic medical knowledge, ability to obtain a medical history, and to perform an appropriate physical examination. In addition, students are evaluated on critical interpersonal and communication skills, professionalism, practice-based learning and systems-based learning.
