A.T. Still University Doctor of Medical Sciences

A.T. Still University (ATSU), founded in 1892 by Dr. Andrew Taylor Still, is the first osteopathic medical school. Today ATSU is home to three residential campuses in Arizona, California, and Missouri along with an extensive online campus. ATSU has two PA programs, two DO and dental schools, along with PT, OT, Audiology, and Athletic Training.

The online Doctor of Medical Science (DMSc) program at A.T. Still University is tailored for certified and licensed PAs, including international and retired PAs. The program empowers practicing PAs to advance their careers and become influential leaders capable of shaping the future of healthcare in America. With a fully online, asynchronous learning model, ATSU’s DMSc degree offers maximum flexibility, allowing PAs to continue practicing full-time while earning their doctoral degree, without disrupting their careers.

The DMSc degree can be completed in 2-3 years. An advanced standing option (15-17 months) is available for PAs who completed their PA masters degree within the last seven years or PAs who earned a one-year fellowship or residency. Tuition discounts are available for military/veterans and PAs employed full time with an FQHC.

The DMSc degree offers nine concentration areas in education, leadership, professional practicum, global health, public health-emergency management, public health-community workforce, sports orthopaedics, sports nuerology, and sports concussion.
