The PA/MPH Interprofessional Concurrent Degree is a collaborative degree program consisting of the Master of Medical Science (MMS) in Physician Assistant Studies offered by the College of Health Care Sciences and the Master of Public Health (MPH) offered by the College of Osteopathic Medicine. Touro Univeristy California's Physician Assistant Program offers its students two degrees in their 32 months of training: a Master of Science in Physician Assistant Studies, and a Master of Pulic Health. In July 2016, the Touro University California (TUC) Joint MSPAS/MPH Program was awarded a $2.52 million grant through the Health Resource.

Your decision to pursue or not pursue the MBS/MPH program has no impact on your admission decision for the MBS program itself. If an applicant is eligible for admission to the MBS program but not to the dual degree program of their choice, the applicant will be offered admission to the MBS program alone.

UC Davis provides the only programs in the nation where family nurse practitioner and physician assistant students learn together to practice collaboratively with clinicians in a variety of clinical settings. When UC Davis first offered postgraduate certificate programs to prepare both family nurse practitioners and physician assistants more than 40 years ago, a dual-track program was offered to nurses to prepare simultaneously for both professions. Due to accreditation-limited enrollment and the need to ensure all physician assistant seats are filled by physician assistant students, the dual-track option is offered on a space-available basis only.
The dual-track option is determined annually on a space-available basis with no space expected in the near future. If the dual track option is offered, applications are announced after students complete at least one year of the family nurse practitioner program.

Dual-track students are then eligible to complete the nurse practitioner certification exam and the physician assistant licensing exam.
- All applicants must be current graduate students within the nurse practitioner program who wish to simultaneously pursue a physician assistant license.
- All applicants must complete and submit the Nurse Practitioner and Physician Assistant Dual-Track Program application form.
- Results of the dual-track program applications are announced during the first year of the nurse practitioner program.
