Deepanjali Posted April 3, 2021 Share Posted April 3, 2021 If I enrol in a university having provisional accreditation ARC-PA, will it be a problem to me in future in anyway? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UGoLong Posted April 3, 2021 Share Posted April 3, 2021 On the plus side: All new programs that I know of start out with provisional accreditation. That pretty much guarantees you will get to go through and take the PANCE at the end. On the questionable side: There are bound to be growing pains with a new program. How serious they will be are a function of how much prior PA educational experience the faculty (especially the Director) has and the overall health of the college/university. It also is a function of how well connected the school is in the area so that it can get all of the clinical rotations that it needs. That can be a real problem if there are many local PA/NP/MD/DO programs. I went to a new program. I was in the 3rd class but the first class hadn't yet graduated. Our director had decades of experience running other programs and she was fantastic. I greatly enjoyed my time there, graduated, and have been working as a PA ever since, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
