Mississippi College faculty will host an open house at the Clinton campus July 8 to provide information on the state’s only physician assistant program, school staff said.

PAs practice medicine as members of a team with supervising physicians.

During the 2 p.m. session at Anderson Hall in the B.C. Rogers Student Center, prospective candidates will learn about admission requirements and the latest information on plans to locate the PA program on the third floor of the Baptist Healthplex in Clinton.

Similar events are planned for August and October in Clinton.

Mississippi College will start accepting applications in January for the program, and the first classes will follow in May.
