From their website, "The Yale School of Medicine is proud to offer two pathways to obtain a high-quality PA education: The Physician Associate Program and the Physician Assistant Online Program. Students in both programs graduate with a Master of Medical Science degree and both utilize the faculty from the Yale School of Medicine. With consistent admission requirements but unique learning experiences, prospective students can apply for the program that best meets their learning and career objectives."

"Our diverse student body, small class size, student research, international rotation opportunities and access to world-renowned faculty at Yale all provide a dynamic place to begin your career as a physician assistant."

"No course grades or class rankings are given in the first two years, examinations are limited, and students are expected to engage in independent investigation. Many medical students take a tuition-free fifth year to pursue additional study. Some conduct in-depth research or explore clinical electives and sub-internships. A significant number are awarded fifth-year research fellowships and earn the MHS degree."
