May 14, 2010, Newsletter Issue #47: Tips for Applying to Physician Assistant Programs

Tip of the Week

Deciding to become a physician assistant is an important decision. But before applying to programs, it’s helpful to have a few pointers. Read on to learn tips for applying to physician assistant programs.

Gather important information. Before applying to physician assistant programs, gather important items such as references, official transcripts and a professional resume. Having this information compiled beforehand will streamline the application process.

Apply to programs early. Sometimes, getting your applications in early will give you a leg up on the competition. Some programs even allow early acceptance for early applicants.

Check for testing requirements. Some programs require applicants to take special tests such as the GRE or a Pre-Admission Assessment. Get these requirements taken care of early so you can retake tests if needed.

Once you’ve graduated from a program, make sure to partner with a staffing firm like Clinical One. They can help you access physician assistant jobs that aren’t available on mainstream job boards.
