There is going to be another google form coming out on May 2nd- May 6th that would be the official election. Please be on a lookout!

PAEA is very excited to announce the launch of our new and improved PAEA Program Directory. The directory has a map view or a list view, allowing applicants to view the geographical span of our PA programs across the country. We've included advance filtering options such as GRE requirement, veteran support, minimum GPA, etc. In an effort to help our students, especially our students who are traditionally Underrepresented in Medicine, find support and belonging in the program they choose, we've added fields for each program such as: Supplemental Fee Waiver Program Matriculants by Gender Program Matriculants by Ethnicity Required Onsite Interview Virtual Experience Hours Accepted The 2022-23 CASPA Application Cycle will launch on April 28, 2022, and we are confident that the Directory will prove to be a useful tool for both advisors and students interested in learning more about our PA programs and preparing for the upcoming cycles. In addition, we have increased our fee waiver allotment to include both the first and second designation an applicant applies to. Instead of just covering the initial $179 fee, the waiver will now cover the initial $179 + $56 = $235 total. I've included an infographic that has more information about this process and how it is different from the previous waiver program. We are very excited about these changes and the impact they will potentially have on our applicants! If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out to me directly at hstorm@PAEAonline.org. ------------------------------ Heather Storm hstorm@paeaonline.org | (703) 667-4350 Physician Assistant Education Association | Washington, DC ------------------------------

The Jefferson College of Rehabilitation Sciences at Thomas Jefferson University is bringing its  Summer Training & Enrichment Programs  for Underrepresented Persons (STEP-UP) back to campus this summer!

STEP-UP is an academic enrichment program for students who are interested in attending graduate school for occupational therapy, physical therapy, athletic training and/or speech-language pathology and who are traditionally underrepresented in these disciplines and in the health professions.  This includes students who identify with historically marginalized communities, including:

• Students from underrepresented racial/ethnic minorities
• First generation college students
• Students from socioeconomically disadvantaged backgrounds
• Students who identify within the LGBTQ+ communities
• Students who are actively serving or previously served in the military
• Students with disabilities

This on-campus program will be held on our Center City Campus in Philadelphia and offers an introduction to the aforementioned rehabilitation sciences disciplines, classroom, lab, and simulation experiences, time management and study skills training, personal statement and resume development, and an introduction to the admissions process, inclusive of a transcript review and strategies for a more successful application.

 

The program is offered at no cost to the student and is anticipated to run Monday, June 6, 2022- Friday, June 10, 2022 from approximately 8:30 a.m. – 4:00 pm.  Please note that an adjustment may be made to this schedule as the program agenda is finalized. 

 

We will be offering an information session about the program on Tuesday, April 5^th from 6:00-7:00 pm.   If you know of any rising sophomores, juniors, seniors, or recent graduateswho expressed interest in applying to an occupational therapy, physical therapy, athletic training, or speech-language pathology graduate program that may be interested in this experience, please encourage them to join the information session to learn more!  You are also welcome to join.
