Nonlegit Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 I have heard about a new program being started at Ohio State. I am closing in on being done with pre-reqs and am curious if anyone has heard anything about this new school? It seems to be pretty hush-hush so far. Thanks in advance.

OSUtri10 Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 They were contemplating opening a new program in 2011, but then Ohio Dominican opened theirs and I don't believe much subsequent pursuit towards opening a program at OSU has been made. They certainly haven't talked about it in any of their news publications. They are heavily NP oriented as well, so I wouldn't be surprised if it's still a long while before they give in and open a new PA program. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are hiring a program director (or have in the last month). The program will be up and running soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you associated with the program? What kind of time frame are we talking about here? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gleannfia Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 Amen. Do not work in Ohio if you can help it. Very heavily slanted toward NPs. Poor pay. And you practically have to give up a kidney to get Rx privileges, even if you have successfully prescribed for many years in other states. Most people would not work there except for family or other personal reasons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
physasst Posted August 6, 2013 Share Posted August 6, 2013 That's good to hear. Are you associated with the program? What kind of time frame are we talking about here? No, I am not. It was suggested that I apply for the PD position which is why I knew of it. I am not officially working or affiliated with them.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably not a huge deal since you would be associated with a school that has long established health and professional programs huh? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have an interview with them this week for an ER position but not sure if I want to stay in Columbus or go back to California to practice after taking my boards.

I have an interview with them this week for an ER position but not sure if I want to stay in Columbus or go back to California to practice after taking my boards. I am sorry I do not. Isn't that in Akron or Canton? Things tend to be a little better in Ohio the further south you go from Cleveland. I have always understood that California is the not the best, either, mainly because so many doctors and NPs go there and the competition is tighter for jobs. The best states for PAs by my experience are: NC, MI, MN, AZ. I am sure there are others. In general, I would say that unless you have a personal reason for wanting to stay in Ohio, you'd best get out and start out in another state. But that is just me.

UGoLong Posted June 11, 2014 Share Posted June 11, 2014 Their application for a PA program has apparently been withdrawn. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jjwasco Posted June 11, 2014 Share Posted June 11, 2014 Surprising since they recently hired a program director. In a recent program update he even gave a startup date: "It is my pleasure to inform you of the new Physician Assistant Program that will begin June 15, 2015, affiliated with the School of Health & Rehabilitation Sciences and the College of Medicine here at The Ohio State University. .... Donald O. Mauger MPAS PA-C " Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nonlegit Posted June 21, 2014 Author Share Posted June 21, 2014 Recieved an email from Mr. Mauger here recently forwarded from some other director within the college that confirmed that Ohio State will NOT be going forward with a PA school. Very very dissapointing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UGoLong Posted July 4, 2014 Share Posted July 4, 2014 On the other hand, the Ohio University PA program is due to open this summer in Dublin, a Columbus suburb. I don't know when students will be accepted. The main campus for OU is in Athens. They are also opening a medical school (DO) program in Dublin with a primary care slant.

mcneesejd Posted July 12, 2014 Share Posted July 12, 2014 I personally know the program director of the University of Dayton PA program and it is on its way to full accreditation. "The Accreditation Review Commission on Education for the Physician Assistant (ARC-PA) has granted Accreditation-Provisional status to the University of Dayton Physician Assistant Program. Accreditation-Provisional is an accreditation status. The status indicates that the plans and resource allocation for the proposed program appear to demonstrate the program’s ability to meet the ARC-PA Standards, if fully implemented as planned. Accreditation-Provisional does not ensure any subsequent accreditation status. It is limited to no more than five years from matriculation of the first class."
