Welcome from the Students of the University of Florida School of Physician Assistant Studies!

We are so happy that you have chosen to explore our website. This is a program where “team” is not just a buzz word. Students and faculty work together to ensure that we have a positive experience both in and out of the classroom, that we have the tools we need to succeed, and that that the program is continually improving. The University of Florida will prepare you to become an excellent physician assistant and we hope that you too will choose to be a Gator PA.
