flowerpower Posted June 2, 2016 Share Posted June 2, 2016 Hi everyone, just wondering if anyone has heard of new programs that were beginning this application cycle? Trying to look for new programs to apply to- thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IDCtoPA Posted June 2, 2016 Share Posted June 2, 2016 South College is starting a program just outside of Richmond, Va Emory and Henry COllege is starting a program in south west virginia near Abingdon. If you go to ARCPA you can see a list of every program. The ones with TBD accreditation status and start dates this year or next are most likely new programs. There are quite a few of them. http://arc-pa.org/acc_programs/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RuralER/Ortho Posted June 3, 2016 Share Posted June 3, 2016 Wow. That is a shockingly long list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Petunia Posted June 3, 2016 Share Posted June 3, 2016 I know! The schools are blowing up! But.......... some of them won't ever get provision accredidation. I think most will tho Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
corpsman89 Posted June 3, 2016 Share Posted June 3, 2016 This "shockingly long list" is really concerning. I am beginning to see a potential environment for over saturation of PAs and in turn seeing a lowering of pay and a harder time finding a job. :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MT2PA Posted June 3, 2016 Share Posted June 3, 2016 This "shockingly long list" is really concerning. I am beginning to see a potential environment for over saturation of PAs and in turn seeing a lowering of pay and a harder time finding a job. :( It's possible but it's likely a long ways away. The way the profession has been expected to grow, there are currently more positions than PAs. Granted, it might mean taking jobs in specialties that aren't your first choice or off shifts or rural areas, etc. Lucky for us, people will always need healthcare.

Petunia Posted June 3, 2016 Share Posted June 3, 2016 Also all of us starting this next cycle or already in school will have more experience than when the boom of new PAs make it to the market. We will be valued for our experience I mean...... I know nursing is a whole different world- but from 2005 to 2006, the US gained a WHOPPING 150+ programs... and still never filled the full nursing shortage- and they have gained 10 - 50 programs annually ever since... I think PAs are in such sincere demand that we won't struggle to find jobs and reasonable incomes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RuralER/Ortho Posted June 3, 2016 Share Posted June 3, 2016 Lawyers probably said something similar to this in the past. Not to mention quality concerns with new programs. Established programs have trouble securing good rotations. This will undoubtedly be a big problem for new programs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sig194 Posted June 6, 2016 Share Posted June 6, 2016 UC Beckley is outdated - there is only one University of Charleston PA program in WV and it's in Charleston. Just FYI in case there's confusion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
