PA Postgraduate Program at a Glance

  • Specialty: Critical Care
  • Accreditation: Not ARC-PA Accredited
  • Program length: 12 months
  • Positions per year: Check program website
  • Stipend / salary: SHARED ENTERPRISE FIGURE, not programme-specific: “All fellowship tracks are a one-year commitment and offer a $74,880 salary with benefits.” It appears once, in the enterprise-wide “Candidate Offers” block, and covers all 29 Atrium/Advocate APP tracks across Charlotte, Winston-Salem, Macon and Chicago.
  • Benefits: Check program website
  • Credential awarded: Check program website
  • Eligibility: Shared across all Atrium/Advocate tracks: “Completion of an accredited PA or NP master’s program / Pass the PA or NP National board examination / Obtain state licensure as a PA or NP / Obtain DEA licensure / Successfully pass the Atrium Health employment background check and drug screening” — required by the programme start, not the application deadline. Hub track designator: “PA | AGACNP”.
  • Application deadline: Spring 2027 cohort CLOSED (applications were accepted through September 30, 2026). NEXT — Fall 2027 cohort, verbatim from the official application portal: “Applications for the Fall 2027 cohort will open on December 15, 2026, and will remain open through March 30, 2027.” ⚠️ Atrium’s own Center for Advanced Practice page still says Fall 2027 applications “will open Summer 2027 and remain open through September 30, 2027” — the two official pages disagree. The portal agrees with the page’s own FAQ (“late March, early April for the Fall class”). Confirm with the programme before planning around either date.
  • How to apply: Direct application through the program website
  • Start date: Projected April 19, 2027 (Spring 2027 cohort) — shared enterprise date. Verbatim from the Center for Advanced Practice application page: “The projected start date is April 19, 2027.”

Not ARC-PA accredited. Part of an institutional member program of APPAP (Association of Postgraduate PA Programs); most PA postgraduate programs are not ARC-PA accredited.
