Physician Assistant Studies Department
Facilities
Marist completed construction of a new Science and Allied Health building in January 2016. It is located on the east campus, just north of the campus walkway linking the east and west sides of campus.
This building cost $33 million and established a home for Marist's School of Science. The Science and Allied Health building is home to the Physician Assistant and Doctor of Physical Therapy programs, as well as the School of Science’s existing programs in Athletic Training and Medical Technology, and laboratories for our Department of Biology.
The four-story building has approximately 58,000 square feet, of which is predominantly occupied by Marist's PA and DPT programs. The key elements of the PA program space include a gross anatomy laboratory, a 10-bed skills laboratory, and a technologically advanced clinical simulation suite with a twin trauma bay and five traditional exam rooms.
The simulation suite incorporates both standardized patients and high-tech manikins. Students use the lab for basic instruction and patient interaction, history taking and physical exam skills, diagnosis and documentation, clinical skills, and Objective Structured Clinical Examinations (OSCEs). Technology supports student learning by digitally capturing data, both voice and video, and students have access to this data when appropriate for self-evaluation. Faculty are able to access data to assist in both formative and summative evaluations of the student.

Accreditation Status
*The Accreditation Review Commission on Education for the Physician Assistant, Inc. (ARC-PA) has granted Accreditation-Continued status to the Marist University Physician Assistant Program sponsored by Marist University. Accreditation-Continued is an accreditation status granted when a currently accredited program is in compliance with the ARC-PA Standards.
Accreditation remains in effect until the program closes or withdraws from the accreditation process or until accreditation is withdrawn for failure to comply with the Standards. The approximate date for the next validation review of the program by the ARC-PA will be March 2030. The review date is contingent upon continued compliance with the Accreditation Standards and ARC-PA policy.
The program’s accreditation history can be viewed on the ARC-PA website at http://www.arc-pa.org/accreditation-history-marist-college/.
