News and Events
Midwestern University PA students become strong practicing physician assistants. Over the last ten years our physician assistant graduates have consistently passed the PA national certifying examination at a rate significantly above the national average. The graduates are working in a wide variety of areas. Approximately one fourth of the 2003 graduates work in primary care, another quarter work in surgery, and another quarter are in medical specialties. The remaining graduates are almost evenly divided between emergency medicine and behavioral medicine. The average annual starting salary of the 2003 graduates was more than $63,500.

At MWU, your rigorous physician assistant program covers basic sciences, encourages community service, and includes clinical rotations in surgery, internal medicine, emergency medicine, psychiatry, family medicine, geriatric medicine, and pediatrics.
