The Entry Level Masters in Physician Assistant Program (ELMPA) is one of two (the other being the Doctorate in Physical Therapy program) which outright do not allow students to transfer (internally or externally) into the program.

An important note for the Occupational Therapy, Nursing, Radiologic Sciences, Diagnostic Imaging programs; transferring is technically possible but dependent on there being space available in the program. We cannot guarantee there will be space available in any year of the programs.

The graduate PA program highly prioritizes direct paid patient contact hours (working as an EMT, CNA, etc), quality of academics, and the results of in candidate interviews in their admissions process. We do have QU alumni who are admitted into the PA graduate entry program but there isn’t an overt advantage in simply being a graduate if the items mentioned above are not competitive compared to the applicant pool. A QU student in health and science studies or biomedical sciences does have the ability of tracking very similarly to the ELMPA curriculum which should prepare them for prerequisite requirements in admission for many PA graduate programs.

Let me know if you have any questions!
