BrandF Posted November 27, 2017 Share Posted November 27, 2017 Hello all! I am going to be applying for the PA class starting in 2019. Can anyone give me a ballpark answer on how much patient experience is needed? I have 520 hours patient contact and 160 PA shadow hours. The website only says 80 is competitive but I thought it must be much more than that! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderator EMEDPA Posted November 27, 2017 Moderator Share Posted November 27, 2017 the more the better. the national avg is > 2-3 years hce for accepted applicants Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrandF Posted November 27, 2017 Author Share Posted November 27, 2017 Thank you for getting back to me so quickly! Then why does FranU simply say 80 hours is competitive? That it really misleading. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderator EMEDPA Posted November 27, 2017 Moderator Share Posted November 27, 2017 Every program is different. they may emphasize something other than hce in their application process. 80 hrs is 2 weeks of hce... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
