Goal 1: Matriculate a diverse student body with a commitment to professional and community service

The cohort of 2025 was comprised of 30 members who demonstrated a strong commitment to professional and community service. Upon matriculation, the cohort had an average of 2174 hands-on patient care hours and 445 community service hours. 3% of the cohort derived from rural/underserved areas in Appalachia, and one was an Armed Forces member.

The cohort of 2025 was a diverse student body that held undergraduate degrees in majors such as Exercise Science, Physiology, Neuroscience, Biochemistry, Health Sciences, Biology, Communications, Pre-Medical, Bioengineering, Chemistry, Nutrition, and Psychobiology.

The cohort of 2025鈥檚 competitive admission standards upon matriculation were: Average undergraduate cumulative GPA: 3.65

Average undergraduate Math/Science GPA: 3.54 Average scaled Quantitative GRE score: 153 Average scaled Verbal GRE score: 153

Average scaled Written GRE score: 4.31

73% of the cohort identified as female. 27% of the cohort identified as male. 78% of the cohort identified as White. 10% of the cohort identified as Asian, 6% of the cohort identified as Hispanic, 3% of the cohort identified as Black, and 3% of the cohort identified as American Indian.

While in the program, the Cohort of 2025鈥檚 commitment to professional service was achieved with 100% membership in the American Association of PAs (AAPA), the Ohio Association of Physician Assistants (OAPA), and the PA Student Society of 蜜柚视频 (PASSOU).

In addition to holding professional memberships during the program, the Cohort of 2025 exceeded the program's minimum expectation of 100 community service hours by completing over 191 hours during the didactic and clinical years.

Goal 2: Educate PA students to effectively practice evidence-based, patient-centered healthcare in medically underserved areas

OHIO University鈥檚 Division of Physician Assistant Practice is committed to educating PA students who will effectively practice life-long, evidence-based, patient-centered health in medically underserved areas.

For the 2024-2025 clinical year, 100% of students (30/30) completed at least one rotation in a medically underserved area. According to the Exit Survey taken by the Cohort of 2025, 87% of graduates reported that the curriculum prepared them to provide patient-centered healthcare to patients in medically underserved populations.

Furthermore, 92% of graduates reported on the Exit Survey that they are competent in

evaluating and applying evidence-based medical literature to practice.

Preceptor evaluations of students during the 2024-2025 clinical year revealed that 92% of Clinical Preceptors agreed that students could critically evaluate medical literature, policies, and trends to improve or enhance patient care. Additionally, 98% of Clinical Preceptors thought that students in the 2025 cohort could effectively adapt communication and care for diverse patient populations, and almost 100% of Clinical Preceptors believed that the students were successful in relating to their patients.

Goal 3: Develop PA students who demonstrate cultural, ethical, and professional competence

cultural, ethical, and professional competence.

Regarding behaviors that pertained to ethical and professional practices, such as, but not limited to, ethical/moral behavior in clinical practice, cultural competence/awareness, integrity, professionalism, accountability, and regulations regarding medical practice, the Class of 2025 achieved an average score of 4.74 out of 5 on the Likert Scale as reported on the Exit Survey.

According to the Clinical preceptors for the 2024-2025 clinical year, almost 100% reported that the Cohort of 2025 demonstrated professionalism in all interactions with patients, the healthcare team, caregivers, etc. In addition, when assessed on confidentiality, adaptability, professionalism, self-con铿乨ence, reliability, and dependability, relating to colleagues and to patients, the Cohort of 2025 earned an average score of 4.79 out of 5 on a Likert Scale.

The program expects 100% of students to demonstrate professional growth throughout the program. Professionalism and professional behaviors are evaluated by the program鈥檚 clinical course directors throughout the clinical year, and each student achieved a rating of competent or higher throughout the clinical year, which meets the program鈥檚 benchmark. (Professional competency scale includes the rating of beginner, advanced beginner, competent, pro铿乧ient, and expert)

Furthermore, all students are required to complete a professional behavior assessment at the beginning of the program, before the clinical year, and before graduation. The program data analysis for professional development reveals that all graduates of the 2025 cohort demonstrated professional growth throughout the program, which meets the program benchmark.

Goal 4: Train PA students to function as members of interprofessional healthcare teams in primary care settings

OHIO鈥檚 PA program curriculum trains PA students to function as members of interprofessional healthcare teams focused on primary care settings. Results from the Exit Survey show that the Class of 2025 is con铿乨ent in their communication skills (4.55 out of 5 on the Likert Scale) and can demonstrate analytical capabilities (medical history taking, physical exam skills, clinical skills, clinical decision making, developing a differential diagnosis, interpreting diagnostic testing) in clinical practice (4.53 out of 5), both of which meet the benchmarks.

The 2024-2025 Clinical Preceptors evaluated the Cohort of 2025 on their ability to relate to patients and colleagues and communicate with others on the healthcare team. Almost 100% of Clinical Preceptors agreed that the students in the 2025 Cohort could relate to colleagues and patients, and also 100% of Clinical Preceptors positively commented on the students鈥� ability to effectively communicate with members of the healthcare team.

Goal 5: Prepare PA students to assume leadership roles within their organizations and profession

OHIO鈥檚 PA program is committed to preparing PA students to assume leadership roles within their organizations and the PA profession. Our faculty and students demonstrate their leadership by holding positions and memberships in the following organizations:
