The Accreditation Review Commission on Education for the Physician Assistant (ARC-PA) has accredited Berry College’s Physician Associate program. This program will begin in August with 28 students, growing to 40 by 2027. Graduates will earn a Master of Medical Science degree after completing the 127-credit hour, 24-month residential course. Berry’s PA program, focusing on rural health medicine, is the first in Northwest Georgia. The college aims to recruit students interested in serving the region, partnering with local health systems for clinical practice experiences in the second year. The program’s launch coincides with the construction of the new Morgan-Bailey Health Sciences Building, to be finished this summer. This building will provide modern facilities for hands-on learning, which is essential for PA education. Only accredited programs can qualify graduates for national certification and state licensing.
