To add another success to the list at McQueary College of Health and Human Services, the Missouri State Physician Assistant Studies (PAS) Class of 2022 has exceeded expectations, yet again.  

Students achieved a 100% first-time pass rate on the Physician Assistant National Certifying Examination (PANCE). This is above the 2022 national first-time pass rate of 92%.  

“Congratulations to the Class of 2022! Their hard work and dedication paid off,” said Dr. Roberto Canales, PAS department head.  

“Our deepest thanks go to the PAS department faculty, staff and clinical preceptors who helped guide students throughout their PAS training.”
