If you have been through the EVMS program and have feedback, would be great to post as well , thank you

Curious why you are not interested in the DNP. The DMSc is the terminal doctorate for PAs, not NPs. I hold both licenses and was accepted to a DMSc but decided on the DHA at the Virginia University of Lynchburg (VUL), a TRACS-accredited HBCU school. I'm not Black, I am a Heinz 57 military veteran with employer tuition assistance, and it was one of the most inclusive schools I have ever attended. The program was outstanding, but unfortunately, the school is under academic warning with the accreditor. I believe this will be fully resolved next year so wait and see. If you want to teach at a university, I recommend a regionally accredited university. I think you will get more mileage from an RA doctorate than an NA doctorate. I understand not wanting a nursing doctorate after becoming an NP. It really is a waste of time unless you add another specialty. I took 4 DNP courses, and it was a nauseating experience. I have no regrets about attending VUL and have applied much of what I have learned to my business practice. If I do decide to teach, the Ed.D in nursing education at ACE appeals to me. Teaching really is a calling if you can survive on the pay: https://ace.edu/degree-programs/doctoral...education/
The OP was in a DHSc program, not a DMSc. However, Northeastern's DMSc program is open to those who are not PAs. I haven't looked at the tuition for this program, but Northeastern is not cheap. I do like the revamped curriculum. They have concentrations that might appeal to those who don't want to only study healthcare administration. Most master's and doctoral programs in health science are practically healthcare administration programs.
There's really no reason to go to VUL now that the Oklahoma State University program exists. This isn't the first time VUL has had accreditation issues. For some reason, they can't get rid of their corrupt president, who had them under FBI investigation when she held another administrative position with the school.
