Health Care Hours?

Post by lmpushala » Fri Mar 06, 2015 10:25 pm

Hello Everyone!

I am graduating in May with a degree in Biological Sciences. I did not apply this cycle (14-15) for PA programs because I have not obtained any hours yet. I am planning on taking an advanced EMT class that will begin in May and will be ending in the beginning of July. I was wondering if it would be smart to apply to schools when CASPA reopens for the (15-16) cycle, because I will not have many hours logged but all I plan on doing after EMT classes is working on getting my hours and shadowing. Or wait all the way to the (16-17) cycle to when I will actually have hours logged. I know that some of the schools I would like to apply to say that they do not require hours but its highly recommended. But then there are some schools that would like hours, but I am working on the hours during the application process, so could I still apply with them and then some how explain what I am doing, without them throwing out the application for seeing that I do not have my hours.

Any help is greatly welcomed!
Thank you!
Lindsay

This is a good thing "graduating in May with a degree in Biological Sciences.". Lots of people had a little confusion about their higher studies. Many of them are not able continue their carrier in a best way, but my small decision is try to do the PA. Higher studies supports to know many things and also gives lots of knowledge.
