I know UNC credits you for those courses for SOCM, but what about those that don't. Is there a way to have a school transcribe the credits as their own towards one of there degrees (if that makes any sense-bad wording)? Or did you guys have to re-take the full year of A and P to apply. Trying to line up pre-reqs for EVMS, Chapel Hill, Duke, Northwestern, UW Tacoma, and UAB. Its an interesting beast trying to line up conflicting pre-reqs across different schools. There are some obvious similarities, but a lot of randoms thrown in. Thanks in advance. Tyler edit: referring to JST and SOCM credits this was the main question I was trying to get to (this was posted on Northwestern's site-if you guys have any knowledge on this) JFSTV I think this hits what we're trying to get after... For other military coursework (e.g. Basic Training, classes taken during regular service), read and consider the following process carefully for coursework outside prerequisite requirements, as credit evaluation my carry additional fees. Other military coursework (e.g. Basic Training, classes taken during regular service) will not be directly accepted. Other military coursework must first be submitted to a regionally accredited institution in the form of an official military transcript (Joint Services Transcript - JST). This accredited institution must award credit as graded or non-graded coursework. Northwestern University will not provide this service. The official transcript from the regionally accredited institution should be sent to CASPA as part of your formal application. I did not personally pursue acceptance of credits from SOCM (2009) as I didn't apply to PA school until 2016. I took anatomy and physiology at university as I needed the refresher. I ultimately became an anatomy and physiology TA which helped me dramatically during PA school. I remember UNC being very military friendly and reaching out to SOCM grads and accepting their credits from the school house. Most programs aren't going to be as accepting. It's honestly surprising how different PA school is from its inception. The days of combat medics being the main focus are dead and gone. Most programs will want university A&P. You can call each program directly and inquire, they will usually be very willing to discuss it with you. Hope this helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
