Introducing the inaugural class of the Master of Physician Assistant Studies program!
This week, 28 students marked an important step in their training at a special ceremony, where they recited a professional oath and received stethoscopes to serve as reminders of compassionate, patient-centred care.
“The stethoscope is a relatively simple instrument, but I believe it is one of the most powerful symbols in medicine. It requires you to listen. Not just to heartbeats or breath sounds, but to the human story behind every patient you care for,” said Dr. John Yoo, dean of #SchulichMedDent.
Working alongside supervising physicians, physician assistants support patient assessment, diagnosis and treatment across a range of specialties and clinical settings.
Launched earlier this year, the two-year master’s program aims to strengthen Ontario’s health-care workforce and improve access to care.

The emphasis on listening to the human story is a valuable foundation for clinical training. How will students practise that skill alongside their technical assessment skills?

People need to be aware that Physician Assistants are not regulated health professionals, unlike every other person you will see. If they make a mistake or do something awful, you have no ability to challenge their fitness to practice and have their licence revoked, because they don’t have one. As a retired nurse, I would not accept care from unregulated staff.
