TheNags Posted October 25, 2012 Share Posted October 25, 2012 I was curious if there are any other vets thinking of applying to Pacific. I am hoping to be able to apply for fall 2014 and my HCE is only 5 years EMT, the last three being an AF medic. I am also trying to complete the additional requirements for the bachelors option, since I don't have a degree. I have a 4.0 in my sciences so far and a 3.4 overall. But the majority of my transfer credits end up being from CCAF, so they are all pass/fail. Just wondering if anyone can shed some light on it for me. Thanks :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrator rev ronin Posted October 25, 2012 Administrator Share Posted October 25, 2012 We had maybe 10% veterans in my class. The class ahead of mine had a former enlisted guy who got promoted to E-7 for the duration of PA school with a commission and obligated service upon graduation, and he got to do all his rotations at military sites.

sasheenp Posted October 26, 2012 Share Posted October 26, 2012 You should call Leah Peltier admissions director. I also heard they were or did do away with the bachelor's degree option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrator rev ronin Posted October 26, 2012 Administrator Share Posted October 26, 2012 Oh, yes, good point. As I understand it, the last student(s) using the bachelor's option will be the class of 2013. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sajedr Posted November 15, 2012 Share Posted November 15, 2012 Actually the bachelor completion option is still open - Check in with Leah Pelto in admissions to talk about your pass/fail courses. Pacific has a veterans program now that you may be a good fit for. Leah Pelto Assistant Director of Graduate & Professional Program Admissions lpelto@pacificu.edu Phone 503-352-7224 Fax 503-352-7290 Info on the veteran's outreach program: Veterans Outreach Program Applicable to Veteran applicants only The Pacific University School of Physician Assistant Studies has a long standing history of supporting veterans to become physician assistants. The School has two programs to assist veterans to become PAs at Pacific, the Veterans Outreach Program and the Bachelor's Degree Completion option. The Veterans Outreach Program is an admissions advantage. The top 5 veteran applicants, who meet all minimum criteria required by the School of Physician Assistant Studies, will be granted an on campus interview. While this does not guarantee admission, it is an acknowledgment of our dedication to veterans and their needs. We provide a Master's level curriculum, however it is possible to gain admission without a prior bachelor's degree. The Bachelor's Degree Completion Option was initially designed for veterans, and is now an option for all students. The School acknowledges veterans' non-traditional route to the PA progession and is excited to offer the option for those who will benefit from this additional opportunity. There is no separate application for the Veterans Outreach or Bachelor's Degree Completion Programs. Students are initially identified through their CASPA and Supplemental Application. Please contact Graduate Admissions if you have any questions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joeistoocool Posted May 4, 2013 Share Posted May 4, 2013 I'm military and planning on applying to Pacific University this summer with one deployment as a medic, a year EMT and a year as a patient care tech at a hopsital in Philadelphia. Have not completed a bachaelors yet though. Getting to do some of your rotations at military sites sounds like a pretty good deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrator rev ronin Posted May 4, 2013 Administrator Share Posted May 4, 2013 As a non-veteran, I got 2 rotations at Madigan Army Medical Center and 1 at the Portland VA, which seemed about average. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dx253 Posted June 6, 2013 Share Posted June 6, 2013 I have 5 years experience as a Hospital Corpsman and now work in Health Admin at Madigan. I plan on shadowing a LTC I work with while I complete science prerequisites at a local CC. I do have a BA in Health Admin and I like how military friendly Pacific seems to be. I think I should be ready to begin applying for 2015. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
