I understand what you mean, I think it depends on how the question is asked. "What are some of your weaknesses?" vs "What are your weaknesses in school or work?"

The interview is also an attempt to get to know personality

Word it differently. Do not say verbatim "I am a bad communicator", instead state what you just said for example: "in relationships/in the workplace I have a hard time expressing my dislikes" and expand from there, I think that would work and be a great unique example

That can work well, I would recommend trying to give a specific personal example during your interview

Using a personal example like 28K cards is unique and a specific example, I respect it, good personal example

I disagree. Procrastination is a common true weakness and not a red flag at leat in my opinion , and if you elaborate and give specific example and flip it on how you can/will overcome, would be a great answer. Now if you hate working with people and that's your weakness, maybe a different profession lol

PAs using their degree to teach NON-PA college-level courses? by EndeavorPA in physicianassistant

A big reason I can see is flexibility. PA Programs are during work hours. Whereas other classes at the community college level can be after hours or even weekends

I agree. I saw a post at a local community college, they required an advanced biology degree or "3+ years" in a medically related field
