groundsquirrel Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 Does anyone know of any schools that offer their PA program online or in a hybrid format? Any thoughts, or information would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Scott Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

groundsquirrel Posted October 16, 2012 Author Share Posted October 16, 2012 Ok, I called UND about their online/hybrid program. They will not accept you unless you have a current licensure as a nurse or paramedic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swimbikerun4fun Posted October 17, 2012 Share Posted October 17, 2012 No thats not right. They accept nearly anybody with a license as a health professional, and 3 years full time experience in that feld. They have accepted respiratory therapists, physical therapists, chiropractors, dietitians for example. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
groundsquirrel Posted October 17, 2012 Author Share Posted October 17, 2012 Swimbikerun4fun: Are you sure? Because when I talked to them they said that they would not accept EMT or CNA, which in the state of Kansas those two fields require license/certification. The gal then said that those two fields did not demonstrate direct patient care, and then went on to say that I had to either be a RN or a Paramedic.

ariel802 Posted October 17, 2012 Share Posted October 17, 2012 University of Wisconsin, Madison has a distance education PA program that is said to be excellent. It is a 3 yr program with the first two didactic years being part-time. The first summer is spent on campus as an intensive then you visit the campus for 2-3 days twice a semester.

groundsquirrel Posted October 17, 2012 Author Share Posted October 17, 2012 Ariel802: Winner winner, chicken dinner, you are right, but......Under the "NEW" 2010 U.S. Dept. of Education rules for distance education, "Kansas" is (1) of 4 states that the University of Wisconsin CAN NOT accept applications from in regards to the distance program. Doesn't make any sense at all, but the feds think they got it all figured out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swimbikerun4fun Posted October 17, 2012 Share Posted October 17, 2012 Yes, I have personal friends who I wrote LOR for, of those disciplines. Oh yeah one more, a Certified Athletic Trainer. I pretty much know the inside out, upside down about their program, if you want to PM me we can talk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
