PA20KA Posted May 13, 2020 Share Posted May 13, 2020 Anyone else applying here? Have any thoughts on applying to a first year program? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deactivated Posted May 15, 2020 Share Posted May 15, 2020 I'm applying! I am really excited about this program and its close to home, so could be pretty awesome. My only hesitation with this program came from the religious affiliation, but Cristina said that the curriculum is science based, so that made me much more confident! Overall it looks like a great program! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems very small from what I can tell but I've never been up there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chiyoko Posted May 18, 2020 Share Posted May 18, 2020 I'll be applying here! I went to the information session in October last year, the school does come from religious affiliation and I was told that all faculty are Christian. Newberg is a really small town and it is about an hour drive from Portland. I've lived in this area for most of my life so feel free to ask questions if you have any!

Chiyoko Posted May 18, 2020 Share Posted May 18, 2020 Regarding the concern about a first year program, I will say that Greg Davenport has successfully created two other PA programs and he really seems to know what he's doing. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well that's good information! At the information session did they mention if they had their clinical preceptors solidified? I think that would be my biggest concern. Otherwise the religious affiliation doesn't bother me as long as everything is science based. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Otherwise the religious affiliation doesn't bother me as long as everything is science based. In October, they were still looking for more clinical preceptors. I know they had a few solidified at that time but I am sure they are still looking for more. Also, the new building wasn't set to be finished until December 2020 so I'm hoping that COVID didn't push the construction back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have little farmers markets and cute coffee shops and a beautiful campus. To be honest though, if I got into this program, I would likely choose to live in Tualatin or Sherwood.

I haven't seen any changes to their interview schedule yet but my guess is they will move them to a Zoom style or push them back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ParanoidCreep Posted May 24, 2020 Share Posted May 24, 2020 They are going to offer interviews three weeks before the interview dates, interviews will be on campus or over Zoom, if the candidate prefers. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PA20KA Posted May 26, 2020 Author Share Posted May 26, 2020 I emailed Cristina at George Fox regarding the preceptors and the interviews and here is the information I received. "Clinical preceptors have been secured as required for our accreditation, but we will always be open to adding new community partners in domains and locations of interest to our students. Geographically these rotations will be in various parts of Oregon, Washington, Idaho, and Montana. You may have seen from our Admissions webpage that our first interview day is June 29th. Invitations will be sent out June 8th. All applicants will be notified of the status of their application (invited to interview, in consideration for the next interview day, not moving forward). George Fox is in Yamhill county which has been approved for Phase I and will most likely be in Phase II by the time of interviews. Safe practices will be in place to ensure the well being of our guests and staff. It will be an MMI (mini multi interview) format." 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This first year will be 20 students. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
