Physician Assistant & Athletic Training

Advancing Care. Inspiring Professionals

At SHSU’s Department of Physician Assistant Studies and Athletic Training, we believe in more than teaching skills—we shape compassionate, adaptable, and confident healthcare leaders. Our student-centered programs combine rigorous academics with immersive clinical experiences, mentorship from expert faculty, and opportunities to serve diverse communities. You’ll learn alongside peers in other health disciplines, gaining a team-based perspective that mirrors real-world practice. Whether diagnosing and treating patients as a PA or preventing and rehabilitating injuries as an AT, you’ll graduate prepared to lead with integrity, deliver excellent care, and make a lasting difference in the lives of those you serve.
