✔ What This Program Looks For in Applicants

CASPA-based; requires >=1,000 hrs direct patient care (paid or volunteer) before applying; broad qualifying roles (CNA, EMT/paramedic, MA, scribe, PT/OT aide, phlebotomist).

Shadowing strongly encouraged but does not count toward PCE. Meeting minimums guarantees neither interview nor acceptance – holistic/competitive review beyond minimums. (case.edu PA healthcare experience)
