Update:
I had sent a request for info to Yale on the program a couple weeks back. Apparently, they are still working on getting approval for the program. Here is the email that was sent to me:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dear XXXXX,
Thank you for your interest in the new online PA degree from the Yale School of Medicine Physician Associate Program. We are excited to offer a new program to aspiring PAs that will be of the same quality and rigor as Yaleâs renowned on-campus program.
More information about the admissions requirements, curriculum, accreditation, and online learning experience will be available on our website in the future. We will let you know once the exact date has been determined.
In the interim, we have provided answers to several frequently asked questions based on the information currently available:
When will the program be accredited?
We are in the process of developing a plan to present to the Accreditation Review Commission on Education for the Physician Assistant (ARC-PA) for program accreditation.
In which states will this program be authorized to operate?
We strive to offer students across the country the chance to earn a Master of Medical Science from the Yale School of Medicine Physician Associate Program. However, because of state laws and regulations, we are required to register with each state agency and seek approval to offer our program to their residents. We will be seeking approval in all states. When we begin formally recruiting for the program, we will have more information on a state-by-state basis.
What are the admissions requirements?
The admissions requirements for PA Online are identical to those of Yaleâs on-campus program and can be found on the main PA Program website at paprogram.yale.edu.
Will there be a requirement to come to campus at any time?
Yes, students will attend three immersion experiences at the main campus located in New Haven, CT. These immersions will allow students to develop hands-on clinical skills, work in small groups, and meet classmates and faculty in person. More information on the immersion experience will be available on our website once we begin recruiting for the program.
Where will clinical rotations take place?
PA Online placement specialists will work with students to secure clinical rotation sites in or near their communities. Students will be supervised by a preceptor who is selected and approved by the Yale PA Program and will complete their rotations in health care settings such as inpatient hospitals, operating rooms, emergency rooms, private practice offices, nursing homes/long-term care facilities, and psychiatric facilities.
We look forward to providing more information in the near future. If you have additional questions in the interim, please contact the admissions team at admissions@pa.yale.edu or 844-433-9253.
Sincerely,
PA Online Admissions

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.
