Brand New Innovative PA Program! Lake Erie College in Ohio

[ProfessorKramer 10]

Hello, my name is Sean Kramer and I am the academic coordinator for a new PA program. I am excited to announce that Lake Erie College will matriculate its first group of students May 2014. Admissions are currently open and on CASPA.

 

 

Lake Erie College Physician Assistant Program

www.lec.edu/pa

 

Lake Erie College will award a masters of physician assistant sciences in an innovative, comprehensive 27 month program. We have an affiliation agreement with University Hospitals in Cleveland (#18 ranked US hospital by US News and World Reports). The program will feature early clinical experiences, problem based learning, module based format, student faculty ratio better than 8:1, and many other great opportunities.

 

Below is a list of admission requirements. The deadline for all information to be verified (by CASPA) is December 1st, 2013. I would highly suggest submitting before October 15th as it may take 4-6 weeks to verify.

All,

 

I had a question in regards to interviews. So I could fairly respond about this to everyone, I am posting it on the forum.

 

If you are granted an interview you will be notified. Upon acceptance of the interview you will be sent a packet that outlines your schedule of events for the day. There will be a medical terminology test out. I can not give any more details at this time.

 

Thank you,

For the genetics requirement would the program accept a microbial genetics course? It's a biology upper level elective (BSC 443).
