Program Competencies
The Wingate PA Program competencies represent the medical knowledge, skills, clinical reasoning and problem-solving abilities, and professional behaviors each student must satisfactorily demonstrate in order to graduate from the Wingate PA Program. The framework of these competencies was informed by the updated Competencies for the PA Profession, the PAEA Core Competencies for New PA Graduates and guided by the mission and values of the Wingate PA Program.

The Wingate PA Program Competencies are organized into 8 core domains outlined below.
