Program admissions informationThe program pointed to elective rotations as a real strength — a way to see many different clinical perspectives before graduating — and singled out the anatomy cadaver lab as a curriculum highlight. They described the learning environment as demanding but supportive, with students leaning on both classmates and faculty through a heavy course load, and emphasized that PAs practice as part of a team alongside physicians and NPs rather than in isolation. One practical tip from the room: make sure any planned or in-progress coursework is entered in CASPA as planned or in-progress so reviewers can see your full academic picture.
