Apparently, Yale is in the process of trying get an online Physicians Assistant program approved. No word on cost or admissions. Interesting.

Don't waste time by trying to save time. The only sure way to complete your degree is to knock out credits quickly and efficiently.
Don't let easiness bite you in the rear. Know your endgame (where you want to be) and plan backward from there. Your education is a means to an end.
Be honest professionally, socially and academically. There are people (especially little ones) who look up to you and they're going by your example.
Be proud. Whether you're an Engineer or Fast Food worker, there is honor and dignity in hard work.
Picking on people weaker than you only proves that you are a weak person.

Their request was denied by their accreditor. The program is $83,000.

Ouch!! Still, it is interesting that even Ivy Leagues are embracing online education for credit, even if it is mainly a revenue cow.

I don't think that shifting the didactic hours to online will make that much difference. The exams will be proctored. The only thing about the larger clinical component that could change is perhaps the possibility of doing the clinical work somewhere other than Yale, perhaps in the student's local area. It would require medical facilities with sufficient patient volume and complexity to qualify. Finding willing and qualified clinical preceptors isn't easy. The accreditation denial is no surprise. Advanced healthcare is learned in hospitals and clinics, not online.

Georgetown has already implemented a Nursing program that has been successful. I'm sure the Yale decision had more to do with politics than academics. I'm sure a few powerful angry Yale alumni made some calls to influence it.
If I could've gotten additional funding over my GI Bill, I would have jumped all over this program.

Georgetown has an online graduate nursing program for people who are already licensed nurses. PA students aren't already licensed healthcare providers. An educational model for licensed nurses doesn't translate well to a model for unlicensed students.

But, there are online undergraduate programs in nursing for those who aren't licensed. Northeastern University has a direct-entry MSN that is mostly online. There is one occupational therapy program that is mostly online. I think there is also a physical therapy program that is mostly online. Creighton University offers a distance pharmacy program. An online PA program is kind of new and kind of isn't. I believe Mountain State University used to have a distance PA program, but it ended years before the school eventually lost institutional accreditation for unrelated reasons and shut down.
Stanford University has already started moving didactic courses online for its medical school because their students weren't showing up to class.

I'm implying that Georgetown was able to incorporate clinicals. Yale was proposing something similar. The license has nothing to do with it.

It wasn't a direct-entry, distance physical therapy program I was thinking of. It was a distance physician assistant program at University of Wisconsin.

Northeastern University's Direct Entry MSN.

Creighton University Distance Doctor of Pharmacy

University of Minnesota and University of Oklahoma have OT programs that are completed mostly by distance.

Of course, you have schools like WGU that offer online BSNs for those who aren't licensed.

There are also certified midwife programs that are offered by distance, but there are too many to list.

I'd expect to see THIS kind of model ahead of anything else. It used to be that PA programs were typically not graduate level, so there were (are) tons of PAs that don't hold master's degrees (as is true with nurses who are RNs) so offering the grad degree is really just credentialing those already doing the job (as opposed to starting them from scratch and providing the training).
Stanford currently uses this exact model. They offer an ASSOCIATES DEGREE (!) for PAs General Information - Primary Care Associate Program - Stanford University School of Medicine and then if you want your masters, you take it completely online Online Master of Medical Science - Pennsylvania | Saint Francis University.
I assume somewhere along the way the person must pick up their bachelor's (maybe TESC LOL?)
