NEW ORLEANS (AP) - Xavier University of Louisiana has partnered with Ochsner Health System to launch a new degree program.
Xavier, in a news release this week, said it plans a new master’s in physician assistant degree program that will include 16 months of clinical training within Ochsner’s network.
NOLA.com/The Times-Picayune reports the new degree follows the latest series of program expansions at Xavier as university President Reynold Verret outlines the school’s plans to grow enrollment.
