Yale University Online Physicians Assistant Degree?

[cookderosa]

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.

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?)
