PA Postgraduate Program at a Glance

  • Specialty: Critical Care
  • Location: Danville, PA
  • Accreditation: Not ARC-PA Accredited
  • Program length: 12
  • Positions per year: Not published by the programme.
  • Stipend / salary: Published, but not as a figure: the programme's own benefits list says only "Competitive stipend". No dollar amount appears anywhere on the page. ⚠️ Geisinger DOES publish hard salary figures at /gchs/education/residencies-fellowships/salary-benefits-employment (Resident 1 $70,064 … Fellow 8 $90,000), but that page is scoped to PHYSICIAN GME residents/fellows and pharmacy residents, never mentions advanced practitioners, and the AP fellowships appear nowhere on the GME hub. Attaching those numbers to a PA row would be a fabrication.

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.
