TNat97 Posted October 15, 2020 Share Posted October 15, 2020 I had two jobs at the time of applying to PA schools, one working in the ER and another as an MA. I recently left my job at the ER and was wondering if I need to update schools on this information, and if so, would I have to contact CASPA so that they could change my PCE section or would I contact each of the schools individually? Thank you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UGoLong Posted October 16, 2020 Share Posted October 16, 2020 It shouldn't be necessary to tell them you stopped a job; the application is really just a snapshot in time. If you end up working somewhere else for HCE/PCE and have put in a few hundred hours, you could send a note to the schools you've applied to letting them know that. Same with new grades at the end of a term. Just don't be bombarding the schools. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alysd Posted October 18, 2020 Share Posted October 18, 2020 Hey OP, similar situation to you. I've actually tried to email each program individually that I already applied to in order to notify them that I left one job and began another one. Those that have responded stated that it didn't really matter and that I'd only have a chance to update information if they move forward with me in the interview or supplemental application process. I entered my updated position and hours in to CASPA, but there appears to be no way to designate that a job has ended. Agree with @UGoLong on the "snapshot in time" concept.
