What is CASPA?
The Centralized Application Service for Physician Assistants (CASPA) is an online platform, administered and sponsored by PAEA, that streamlines the application process for prospective PA students, allowing participating applicants the ability to apply to multiple programs using a single application. This not only saves time and effort, but also facilitates the collection and distribution of transcripts, letters of recommendation, and other required materials.
This integral resource is a necessary step that all must take in order to appy to physician assistant programs. Therefore, it's important to understand it's contents. Luckily, the CASPA Application Cycle Manual does just that.
