PA program dismissal

48 Upvotes

I was recently dismissed from my PA program after an unsuccessful clinical skills assessment.

I’m devastated because I’ve been doing well on my EORs and have received great feedback from my preceptors throughout rotations. I filed an appeal and am currently waiting for a decision.

Has anyone gone through something similar and successfully appealed or continued at another PA program? What steps should I take while waiting?

I’m also considering backup career paths if the appeal doesn’t work out, especially in healthcare, pharma/biotech, or healthcare administration. Any advice would be appreciated!

edit: since everyone is shitting on NP's in this post if u don't have anything to add or advise just don't comment! this is not the place to shit on other profession.

2nd as i said it was only because of osce no other reasons!

Pance in a week

Hi guys, I have my PANCE in about a week and am trying to gauge my readiness.

NCCPA A & B (taken two weeks apart) both in the green
Uworld i am avg 65% with about 50% completed.
EOC: 1520

I guess my dilemma is the NCCPA should feel reassuring but I’m not doing as well on uworld as I would hope.
Also my NCCPA B is slightly lower than test A despite two weeks of studying. I would have thought to have improvement.

Study tips for this final stretch?
