crystaltide Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 So we know that Eastern Michigan is currently looking for a director for a PA Program. I don't know how sure of a thing this program is with that being the only thing we know about it, but I at least am interested. If anyone has any more news or information about it, feel free to post it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tonev Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 I'm actually enrolled in EMU and I didn't know this! I tell you what, if this goes through, I will be one of the first jumping on board for this program! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TThielen Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 What is the time frame that this program might be up and running? Does anyone know? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crystaltide Posted February 21, 2012 Author Share Posted February 21, 2012 I heard a rumor that the program may be starting in 2013, but since I can't find any info about provisional accredidation or anything more than that Eastern's looking for a director, I'm not entirely sure how that would be possible. If they don't intend to use CASPA for the first year, then maybe; otherwise I would think they'd be farther along since CASPA opens up in April. Still, based on the person I got the other info from, the program sounds like a sure thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jsmitty33 Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 New programs are not allowed to go through CASPA for the first year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TThielen Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 I emailed EMU, they told me that if everything goes as planned the program's first class would start in May 2014. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crystaltide Posted February 22, 2012 Author Share Posted February 22, 2012 Good to know...I'm applying this cycle, so unless things go badly and I need to apply a second time, looks like Eastern's out for me. Very cool for other people in the area who are interested though. I know there's a great deal of interest in the PA profession in Ann Arbor and Ypsilanti, plus some great health systems for clinicals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
