ARK Posted August 7, 2015 Share Posted August 7, 2015 Hi everyone, My undergrad school has a strange A&P class--the biology department offers only a one semester class that covers A&P for all systems. I know most PA schools require 2 semesters, but I've also taken Anatomy & Physiology of Speech and Hearing Mechanisms through my minor, Speech and Hearing Sciences. Does anyone know if this will count towards A&P hours, or must the class be more general? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrator rev ronin Posted August 7, 2015 Administrator Share Posted August 7, 2015 Your answer will vary by school: * Some will require two terms, period. * Some might accept a single term if it had enough credit hours * Some might accept a hodgepodge solution like you propose, but they're going to be the minority, I suspect. Honestly? I'd redo A&P in two semesters at a community college and knock out 4.0's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AliB Posted August 7, 2015 Share Posted August 7, 2015 Concur with Rev. FWIW as a student finishing my first semester of PA school, including Anatomy & Physiology, you are going to want the most thorough human anatomy and physiology course work you can get - no substitute. I had a great pre-req course, and I'm still buried! I also seem to recall that most programs are pretty explicit about requiring 8 hours of A&P lecture & lab; the only accommodation they make is to accept Anatomy lecture/lab for 4 hours and Physiology lecture/lab for 4 hours OR A&P I for 4 hours and A&P II for four hours. They usually go further and explicitly require it to be human; they won't accept anything broader. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
