PA Postgraduate Program at a Glance

• Accreditation: Not ARC-PA Accredited
• Program length: 18 months
• Positions per year: Two. Verbatim: "The program accepts two (2) NCCPA accredited PAs per cycle."
• Stipend / salary: $66,510 — but read the scope: Trinity publishes this as "Annual Salary: Year 1 - $66,510" on the programme's Compensation and Benefits page. It is an ANNUAL RATE FOR YEAR ONE of an EIGHTEEN-MONTH programme, not a programme total, and Trinity publishes NO year-two figure. It was the only dollar figure on the page (asserted in a browser 2026-09-20).
• Benefits: An "Overview of our Benefits" PDF is linked from the Compensation and Benefits page; no benefit figures are published in the page text itself.
• Credential awarded: Verbatim: "Upon graduation, fellows will be awarded a Trinity Health certificate documenting completion of the post-graduate fellowship." The page adds that graduates "will have the needed number of hours, procedure proficiency and CME needed to sit for their NCCPA CAQ in Hospital Medicine."
• Eligibility: PHYSICIAN-ASSISTANT-ONLY. Verbatim: "Trinity Health offers an 18-month post-graduate fellowship for Physician Assistants in the area of Internal Medicine... The program accepts two (2) NCCPA accredited PAs per cycle. These PAs must hold both a valid Michigan Physician Assistant and Michigan Controlled Substance License." Admission criteria as published: graduated from an ARC-PA accredited PA programme with transcripts at start; current students and new graduates welcome to apply; board eligible or NCCPA board certified at start; three letters of recommendation; AHA BLS/ACLS.
• Application deadline: None — rolling. Verbatim: "Application cycle is a rolling process allowing all candidates an opportunity for application. Applications will be accepted at any time and admission to the fellowship can occur at any point in the year."

• Start date: Nominally January. Verbatim: "The academic calendar typically runs January (year one) thru July (year two) for a total of 18 months. This calendar may be altered due to the rolling admission process." Entry is explicitly flexible — "admission to the fellowship can occur at any point in the year."

Not ARC-PA accredited — which is normal for PA postgraduate programs and is not a mark against this one. This specific program is not separately listed in APPAP’s member directory; verify current status with the program.
