Online: Distance Learning Format
When you enroll in PAU’s distance learning courses, you will attend all classes online in a live Zoom classroom. Info about Residency for online students only: You will meet your professors and classmates in-person during two residential training experiences. These intensive study and competency-based skill training seminars culminate in a clinical interviewing assessment that is a prerequisite for clinical fieldwork.
