Does anyone know if any schools offer a dual degree PharmD/Physician Assitant program?

I don't know of any but I do know that Butler offers both programs.

Why would you want a PharmD/PA dual program? those two careers are pretty much mutually exclusive. Generally, dual programs are designed to complement or supplement your PharmD education with additional knowledge which will be applicable in daily practice. Getting a degree as a PA would mean you wouldn't be practicing as a PharmD and vice versa. More common dual programs are PharmD/MBA, PharmD/MPH, PharmD/JD, PharmD/Ph.D.

That is precisely why I would want the PharmD/PA degree. It would allow me the flexibility to exclusively perform either career. Both careers really interest me. I am the type of person that gets bored with their career, so the ability to do either would be ideal for me. According to the AACP website, the University of Washington offers it, but I cannot find it on their website.
