Ugh.....
Instead of being lazy, and proceeding to volunteer your unique insight as an enlightened undergrad to people who have devoted their careers to the betterment of mankind (and by default, people who know a thing or two about using science to help others in meaningful ways), you could... visit school websites. Or..... call the programs. Or.... Google school names alongside key words describing what you are looking for as far as a school’s commitment to whatever buzzwords you want associated with the place you hope to go.
I know..... crazy to think about doing a bit of your own research by literally using your fingers. And you can do that without preaching to us after we reveal to you that wherever you go to PA school, you will probably find that ALL the programs out there have a strong humanitarian bent. Your fears of running into an anti science agenda are off base. I suspect that you are afraid of finding even a single person at a PA program that doesn’t agree with you. Perhaps that should suggest to you to go out of your way to find a program to attend that challenges you vs protecting your fragile sensibilities. Consider it. It might make you a more well rounded person, and a better clinician.
My guess is that you would actually have to look very hard to find a program that doesn’t try to be as forward thinking as they possibly can get away with.
The overall reality that we know, and that you don’t seem to get out of the above conversation, is that you shouldn’t have a hard time finding a people focused PA program. PA programs jealously guard their seats, and try to keep butts in them. They make an effort to create a welcome environment. They fill those seats with individuals who are vetted to a high level. That’s why they interview, and look over reams of material that they request of you.
With all of that in mind, the best advice really is to simply aim for the cheapest program you can find, and make life easier by liberating yourself from debt. I’m serious when I say that you would benefit more from going to a cheap program vs any of the imagined harm you might encounter by not being around folks who are perfectly aligned with you ideologically.
