New grad on a new team

So I'm a new grad in the middle of interviewing for this amazing inpatient opportunity but there is one thing thats a little concerning to me. Its my dream specialty at a large well-funded academic institution and the compensation is great. But its for a role on a brand new PA team. There are PAs working elsewhere in this hospital but not on this team, they are building it from scratch. The person they hired as chief PA is very seasoned and I'm sure is wonderful, but doesn't have experience in this specific specialty. The 1st person who interviewed me said they will be using the same training format for new grads as they have used elsewhere in the hospital, but are still working out the details. The rest of the team are mostly 1st year residents so the attendings have a lot of experience with teaching.

I love this specialty and, barring something crazy, plan on accepting this job if its offered to me but does anyone have experience with a situation like this? Is it something I should be concerned about or how can I best prepare myself to work on a brand new team?
