Now enrolling for our August and October cohorts!

The ACHE Doctor of Medical Science at the Arkansas Colleges of Health Education (ACHE) is committed to addressing this need by creating a more accessible pathway to advanced education.

One of the biggest barriers identified by PA educators is cost. To help overcome this, ACHE is offering a reduced tuition model for PA educators (>0.5 FTE), allowing completion of the DMSc in the Medical Education concentration for a total cost of $8,200.

Other common challenges, time constraints, work-life balance, and unclear career advancement, are also addressed through this fully online, asynchronous program designed specifically for working PA faculty.

As the profession continues to evolve toward doctoral-level preparation, accessible pathways like this are essential to support faculty advancement, promotion, and leadership opportunities.

We are now enrolling for our January 2027 Medical Education Cohort!
