karebear12892 Posted December 10, 2014 Share Posted December 10, 2014 Does anyone know anything about the admission requirements for this program? Anyone else planning to apply? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
primadonna22274 Posted December 10, 2014 Share Posted December 10, 2014 I'm still waiting to hear about requirements myself. I'm a Family Medicine resident physician at McLeod Health and one of the reasons I ranked my local program first is that I was excited to be on the ground level of a developing program as a preceptor, guest lecturer etc. I know they've hired a program director and the proposed medical director has a good reputation as director of clinical education for AHEC for quite some time. Unfortunately I don't know anything about curriculum or prereqs yet. I think it's looking like it will be a fairly traditional program feeding from their undergrad science majors. I have not been able to find out anything about HCE requirements, cost, etc. I can tell you that our hospital system is outstanding and there is a very strong community health network very close by. Anywhere within a 10-mile radius of Florence is rural/underserved. The Pee Dee has been horribly underserved for a long time and there is a great need for more homegrown PAs and physicians alike. They're graduating their first FNP class soon (not sure I'm impressed with them at all yet...stay tuned). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krissywike Posted January 22, 2015 Share Posted January 22, 2015 I can't wait to hear more about it. I'm am originally from Florence, but I've had a lot of trouble finding information about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
primadonna22274 Posted January 22, 2015 Share Posted January 22, 2015 Talked with the new PD a couple weeks ago. I like him. He set up the new PA program in Saudi Arabia and has taught at programs in Pittsburgh and I think at Methodist in Charlotte. At this time he's still doing everything himself. Hasn't gotten green light to hire faculty and staff yet. That concerns me a bit. It was right before spring semester started though so I imagine he will have more info soon.

Krissywike Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 Supposedly, they are trying to matriculate in Fall of 2016... The building is finally finished. I do know that! Lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

primadonna22274 Posted June 3, 2015 Share Posted June 3, 2015 Funny I got an email from someone this week asking me to help them get started. As far as I know they haven't even hired faculty yet so it's difficult for me to imagine they will be up and running by August of 2016...but stay tuned Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PAHopeful26 Posted September 10, 2015 Share Posted September 10, 2015 How did they contact you about the interview? I submitted my application the last week in August. I hope that wasn't too late!! When I asked about the process she said the earliest i could interview would be in October. The first set of interviews will be the end of this month. So that will be the one on Sept 25! Good luck guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CPAC38 Posted September 24, 2015 Share Posted September 24, 2015 For those of you who have already applied, did the admissions people contact you to let you know that they received your GRE scores, supplemental applications, fees, etc.? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brim Posted September 24, 2015 Share Posted September 24, 2015 They didn't contact me to verify that information had been received. I just received the call inviting me to interview. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

karebear12892 Posted October 8, 2015 Author Share Posted October 8, 2015 Just found out I've been waitlisted - keeping my fingers crossed that a spot will open up! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
primadonna22274 Posted October 8, 2015 Share Posted October 8, 2015 Wait listing in October? ! Sheesh. Good luck. If it makes you feel better, in 1997 my initial application to PA school was rejected. Less than a month later I received an invitation to interview. The week after that I found out I got in :) Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N910A using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
