Home of TCU PA Studies
Our mission is to develop extraordinarily competent and compassionate Physician Associates to provide high quality, patient centered, evidenced based healthcare as a member of a physician-led healthcare team who can think and act responsibly in a global community.
Accreditation
The Physician Associate Studies program at Texas Christian University has applied for Accreditation-Provisional from the Accreditation Review Commission on Education for the Physician Assistant (ARC-PA). The Physician Associate Studies program anticipates matriculating its first class in January 2027, pending achieving Accreditation-Provisional status at the October 2026 ARC-PA meeting.
Accreditation-Provisional is an accreditation status granted when the plans and resource allocation, if fully implemented as planned, of a proposed program that has not yet enrolled students appears to demonstrate the program's ability to meet the ARC-PA Standards or when a program holding Accreditation-Provisional status appears to demonstrate continued progress in complying with the Standards as it prepares for the graduation of the first class (cohort) of students.
Updates will be made to this site as they are confirmed. To learn more about TCU's Physician Associate (PA) Studies program, submit the interest form or email: pa@tcu.edu.
