JohnnyM2 Posted February 3, 2015 Share Posted February 3, 2015 Their website doesn't reveal much about the program and I would appreciate information from a "graduate" of the program. Sent from my KFAPWI using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderator EMEDPA Posted February 3, 2015 Moderator Share Posted February 3, 2015 do you mean the joint Army/Baylor program, which grants a DSc or the other civilian one? Links to both here: http://www.physicianassistantforum.com/index.php?/topic/7-emergency-medicine-linksresidencies/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnnyM2 Posted February 4, 2015 Author Share Posted February 4, 2015 EMEDPA, this is the link I found to what I believe is the civilian program. Your link does not seem to be working due to small differences in the URL. https://www.bcm.edu/departments/medicine/sections-divisions-centers/emergency-medicine/education/physician-assistant-fellowship I would like to find someone who has actually been through this program. It is difficult to find any references to it on this forum or elsewhere. Sent from my KFAPWI using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderator True Anomaly Posted February 5, 2015 Moderator Share Posted February 5, 2015 I did not go there, but based on my experience with one of their graduates, I was not impressed, and that's all I'll say Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderator EMEDPA Posted February 5, 2015 Moderator Share Posted February 5, 2015 I did not go there, but based on my experience with one of their graduates, I was not impressed, and that's all I'll say ouch...we just hired a grad of the Iowa program and she is a rock star. If I were to do one at this point it would probably be Iowa as they focus on rural settings and solo coverage preparation. I'm already working solo, but like anyone can identify areas for potential improvement that a residency would meet. Outside of getting an entry level side job in critical care I can't think of any other way to get that experience. 1-2 day conferences with procedural skills stations are great, but what really cements these skills is repetition.

Moderator EMEDPA Posted February 5, 2015 Moderator Share Posted February 5, 2015 That's cool. I don't know much about the Iowa program honestly pretty solid program at trauma center with em physician residency. covers core em material well with room for interest-specific electives: http://www.uihealthcare.org/emparesidency/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesC Posted February 6, 2015 Share Posted February 6, 2015 Could anyone elaborate on their training at Baylor? I'd be interested as well. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderator EMEDPA Posted February 6, 2015 Moderator Share Posted February 6, 2015 it's a relatively new program. Don't even know if anyone has completed it yet. At most they have 1 class of folks in practice( 2 residents?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cinntsp Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 I emailed them when I was applying to residencies and had some back and forth with the program director and a current resident. I was not impressed with their offering. It did not come across as being very structured or having solid off-service rotations. The impression I got was you are there to fill a time slot first and then could branch out on your own time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dynamo24 Posted February 13, 2015 Share Posted February 13, 2015 That's cool. I don't know much about the Iowa program honestly I interviewed at Iowa and it was an amazing experience. The PA staff there is great, the facilities are amazing. They have everything you need to be successful. I plan on applying there upon graduation. Iowa City is a nice smaller town with plenty to do in the free time you would have. Their PA program is very progressive and incorporates med students and PA students the entire didactic year. I would imagine this would create a better environment while doing the residency there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rrlpa Posted July 27, 2015 Share Posted July 27, 2015 I graduated a year ago. It was good. I thought it was useful, but there are probably more structured programs out there. I had been in practice 5 years when I did the program. I now have 2 rural solo coverage jobs that I can't imaging doing without having done the program there. Biggest thing it did for me was build confidence. I'd do it again. Was satisfied with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnnyM2 Posted August 21, 2016 Author Share Posted August 21, 2016 Note that since my original post, Baylor has updated their Web site and now provides a great deal more useful information on their program.

mestizo_beats Posted November 15, 2016 Share Posted November 15, 2016 Any update on their thoughts of the program? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nathannathan55555 Posted March 8, 2017 Share Posted March 8, 2017 I do not think it is a good program. No pediatric ER rotation or experience at all. Pay is average. Just fill up slots and very heavy work. Seems like no structured learning. They prefer their own graduate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
