CUNY SOM also offers a two‑year Physician Assistant (PA) program. The school’s mission is twofold: (1) to provide medical and PA education to students from historically under‑represented backgrounds, with a commitment to primary care in underserved communities; and (2) to conduct innovative research in community health, health professions education, and biomedical science, translating findings into meaningful clinical impact.
