EMdawg Posted September 14, 2020 Share Posted September 14, 2020 Hello everyone, starting a thread for the new Canisius College PA program. I am currently applying to the program and wondering if anyone has heard about the program overall, or professors/admin. Anyone else applying and nervous about the provisional accreditation? Hoping this program turns out well! Starts January 2021. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pa19960 Posted September 16, 2020 Share Posted September 16, 2020 Hello! I recently received an interview. I have not heard anything about this program but I am tring to find out more! I think they were granted accreditation by the board which is good! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smbold Posted September 18, 2020 Share Posted September 18, 2020 Hi! I received an interview invite as well. They seem like an established institution and the director is experienced. I’m not too worried about the provisional accreditation status and have trust in their faculty. Definitely broaden your options though.

Be personal answering questions and friendly are my biggest tips. They make sure to emphasize being yourself during the interview (not having a poker face & a robot personality) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To those who got accepted, for those who may find it helpful, are there any tips/hits/factors that you can provide for how to nail your interviews? I believe the program is very oriented towards helping the community in the Buffalo area and how they can provide equal healthcare to all. For interviews, I believe shaping your answers into how you've helped the community and how you want to continue doing that in the future is your best bet. The interview was very relaxed for the two instructors with one applicant interview. The group ethical situation, they do not care what your group arrives at for an answer, but how your able to act professionally with other students. Our ethical situation was a top tier student who was caught cheating and we established that although we are a highly ethical profession there could be a situational as opposed to dispositional reason for the cheating, so to bring the student in for an interview and provide assistance to the student if there was a situational reasoning to the cheating. Hope this helps. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
