Competitive/selective admission. Program considers Patient Care Experiences, Healthcare Experiences, and Shadowing (per CASPA definitions); math and science course grades affect competitiveness/eligibility. Required child-abuse clearances + criminal background checks; positive drug screen (including medical marijuana/THCA) results in dismissal. PCT's own B.S. in Biomedical Sciences has the prereqs built in.

For January 2027 selection / August 2027 start, science prerequisites must come from U.S.-based accredited institutions, be completed within the prior eight years, and yield a minimum science prerequisite GPA of 3.0. The page does not publish individual course credit minimums or a letter-grade cutoff. The separate Jan. 2028 criteria add a mandatory PA-CAT; do not apply that change to Fall 2027 applicants. Applicants may have up to two prerequisites outstanding only if finishing their bachelor’s degree in the spring cycle.
