Dreamingofpa2490 Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 Hey all. wondering how I should separate my health care experience on CASPA. I worked as a medical assistant as well as a surgical assistant at the same practice. Do I put that all under 1 since its at the same place or put it in 2 diff categories since duties were totally diff? Thanks in advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AliB Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 Double check the CASPA FAQs for any guidelines, but FWIW, I entered mine separately. The job responsibilities were different, as were my supervisors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im gonna separate them I think... thanks for the input Ali Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AliB Posted January 29, 2015 Share Posted January 29, 2015 The quote I included on your other thread about working/shadowing is pretty clear: You may NOT repeat hours between the sections. If the position duties encompass more than one section, enter the position in both sections and divide the hours and duties accordingly. (Example: a 40 hr/wk position with 10 hrs/wk of research and 30 hrs/wk of direct patient care would be entered under both research and patient care sections with the appropriate hours and duties listed within each section.) I would say it answers this question too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OhioGuy11 Posted May 11, 2015 Share Posted May 11, 2015 I just switched departments in the hospital where I work. Still have the same title just different unit. I was reading the CASPA FAQ but it wasn't clear to me whether or not I should list these separately. I am leaning towards listing them separately. Any opinions?

Really depends on how different the responsibilities are. If really similar (e.g., you went from one med surg floor to another) I'd probably cram them together. If a big deal (from patient transporter to ER tech), I'd definitely separate them. In between... you have a grey area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
