In this year’s rankings, School of Health and Rehabilitation Sciences (SHRS) programs continue to rank among the top in the nation. Alongside four top 10-ranked programs, SHRS is celebrating another ranking achievement as its Physician Assistant Studies program made a 24-spot leap into #26 in the nation.
“Thanks to the hard work, expertise and passion of our faculty, staff, students and alumni, our Physician Assistant (PA) Studies program continues to grow in national recognition,” said Christina Davis, assistant professor and chair of the Department of Physician Assistant Studies. “This achievement is a testament to our collective efforts in seeing health from every angle, delivering excellent education and preparing future PAs to make a real difference.”
For certain disciplines, the rankings are based on surveys of academic leaders at peer institutions. In other categories, the numbers are data-driven. The full list of Pitt’s graduate school rankings can be found by visiting U.S. News & World Report.
