needmorecoffee Posted April 7, 2016 Share Posted April 7, 2016 Hey guys! I was wondering if any former or current students wouldn't mind sharing their experience and overall impression with Wingate's program? In terms of academics, faculty, rotations, etc. I've visited the Hendersonville campus and sat in on a couple classes (I'm a WNC resident), both times leaving excited. Ms. Irving is great! Do you feel the program adequately prepared you for practicing as a PA? What about the structure of the didactic phase? Did you feel prepared for the PANCE? Quality/rigor of the rotations (Hendersonville campus)? What areas of medicine are graduates working in (or current students hoping to work in)? Anyone who responds -- thank you for your time.

SalmoTrutta Posted May 26, 2016 Share Posted May 26, 2016 I didn't choose Wingate, but I went to an open house session and interviewed and was accepted. It's a nice campus, slightly rural and quaint. I liked the overall vibe, the faculty and current students were top notch. Out of all the schools I was accepted into, and had I not gotten into my first choice, I would have definitely chose Wingate. I worked with and shadowed a PA graduate from Wingate and he was stellar too, proof that they churn out good product. Hope that helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KRushin Posted July 17, 2016 Share Posted July 17, 2016 I loved it personally, and the impression Salmo gave is very accurate. The school and faculty are very welcoming, humble, and nice. It is in a quiet rural town, but it is still on the out skirts of Charlotte, so your still near suburbs (~15-20 minutes), and a 45 minutes from the big city. I'll be attending this fall, so Wingate Class of 2018! Personally, Wingate reminded me of my Undergrad/Grad school (Baylor), which is why i fell in love with it :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Salmo, it's a good thing you didn't go to the Hendersonville campus...you'd never have actually made it to class with all the fishing available around there!
