Good news: not every PA school requires organic chemistry. The programs below don't list it as a prerequisite. One catch before you skip it: some of these schools require biochemistry instead, and most colleges make organic chemistry a prerequisite for biochem. If you want to avoid both, start with PA schools that require neither organic chemistry nor biochemistry. Prerequisites change from cycle to cycle, so confirm each program's current course list on its website before you register for classes. Want to see where you can apply with the courses you have?
