How is the 5 year direct entry/combined physician assistant (PA) program?

I was wondering if anyone who is a current student in the program or graduated from it can talk about some of the programs pros and cons, how well it has prepared them, etc.

I was also wondering the same. A friend who currently attends said that it prepared her well and she thought that they were a lot more student-centric than a lot of bs/ms PA programs in the area.
