Moderator EMEDPA Posted May 25, 2016 Moderator Share Posted May 25, 2016 EXCELLENT! from the sound of it and based on our discussions I think this will be a great program along the lines of U.WA/medex with a strong focus on primary care, global/underserved medicine and a service focus.

I am interested and am applying this cycle but am curious about the provisional accreditation. When a program is under provisional, does that mean that there is a chance that I may not be able to sit for the PANCE? even a small chance of that happening?

G. Davenport Posted July 8, 2016 Author Share Posted July 8, 2016 Hello there, Congratulations on starting a new program. I am interested and am applying this cycle but am curious about the provisional accreditation. When a program is under provisional, does that mean that there is a chance that I may not be able to sit for the PANCE? even a small chance of that happening? Hi Iccalbert, I will refer you to the ARC-PA FAQ page related to a program with Accreditation-Provisional. The page is: http://www.arc-pa.org/frequently-asked-questions/student-questions/ and it states, "Provisional accreditation is an active accreditation status... in order to be eligible to take the PANCE, students must successfully complete a program that was accredited at the time the student matriculated... " in other words, if the program has accreditation-provisional when you matriculate you are eligible to sit for the PANCE (provided you successfully complete the program). I hope this helps. No matter what you decide, good luck in your pursuits.
