Thanks for the focus on the UC San Diego PA program. I was, in fact, asked that exact question by many. Great work on your videos. Very thorough. - Elias
Thank you for the informative video. It helped me to understand what Provisional status means and what to look for and expect for the PA program at UC San Diego.
You’re very welcome! Glad it was helpful. Just a heads up the UCSD PA program has upcoming info sessions! Webinars: 7-8:30pm PST -December 6 In person, On Campus: 7-8:30pm -December 13 You can sign up here: paeducation.ucsd.edu/
Thank you so much, you always provide solid information and content. I wonder if you have access to PAs who got started older and their stories cause there’s a lot of us out there who want to join the ranks and would love the insight.
Good information Mario. I'm of the mindset of "just graduate" and whatever program you finish you will get a decent job. Whether you're first in the class or last. People still call you by your title, of Doctor, Counselor, PA, Nurse or Medic. Finish the program. The rest will take care of itself. I did ok at a public university and provisional program and so did all of my graduating class! No se estresen, mi gente. Todo saldra bien!
Great video, I was wondering if someone can help me with a question I have. I have my bachelors degree and almost all my prerequisites. I'm only missing several classes. I would like to take them at my local community College, I have seen in more than 1 PA program that they only accept classes/prerequisites from 4 yesr universities. Is this a common thing? Also, what are your guys opinions on retaking classes? For example, my worst science grade is AP1 with a C. Should I retake it? Thanks in advance and any help is appreciated.
Hypothetically, if a student is in the middle of the program but the program loses its accreditation, will the student be able to continue? And, if a student graduates from one of these accreditation provisional programs and passes the PANCE and becomes board-certified, and the PA program looses accreditation, does this impact the student in any way? Thank you so much for the informative video!!
It really depends on the reason why, and ultimately the accrediting body the ARC-PA does have the power to shut down a program and stop the current students from continuing - this is exactly what happened to the students of CSUMB in this video: ruclips.net/video/Zkkfremzmdk/видео.htmlsi=I3GlBggZDvNX57rm And the answer to your second question is no, as long as you graduate and pass your PANCE. You will become a PA-C and that will not change or be affected by changes in the accreditation status of the program you graduated from. As long as you graduate from a program that is accreditation-continued, accreditation-provisional, accreditation-probation....those three statuses are still considered "accredited" and make you eligible to sit for the PANCE.
