are you concerned with how new the program is?

 

I'm not concerned about that. New programs almost always end up receiving their accreditation because there is such a demand for PAs. Plus, I think it would be cool to be part of the inaugural class at a new program. Fewer classmates, too!

I think this will be an excellent program. They have had a program before and are WELL aware of what it takes to achieve and maintain accreditation. I also suspect they will have terrific rotations because of their affiliations. In the past they had an affiliation with King/Drew Medical Center which was one of the county-run level 1 trauma centers in the inner city. I had a cousin who graduated from their program and worked at King/Drew Medical Center and had great exposure to various types of trauma and illnesses.

@Laur_ek @kelseySD have you ladies decided on a hotel? I live about 1.5 hours away so I am debating staying somewhere but the only ones that seem safer are by LAX and there still will be traffic getting to Drew! Ideas anyone else who has booked a room?

I haven't decided on one yet! I've heard that safety wise we should be good if we stay West of the 405 and South of Rosecrans Ave., so I was looking at the Springhill suites Hawthorne/LAX and a few others around it. Would love to hear if anyone else has booked one yet! :)
