In this program, Pre-PA students attend classes that are primarily postbacc exclusive as a cohort to maximize their learning experiences. These classes are taught by faculty from the College of Science and Technology and the Temple University Lewis Katz School of Medicine. In addition, Pre-PA will receive standardized test preparation in the spring. Our program will provide students with the academic preparation needed to enter PA school.

We hope you join us as a member of a small cohort of like-minded individuals prepared for the rigor of a full-time program. Admission is on a rolling basis so we advise you to apply early.

Pre-Requisite Coursework Includes:

• Biology 1 & 2 (each with lab)
• General Chemistry 1 & 2 (each with lab) 
• Organic Chemistry 1 (with lab); OChem 2 is preferred

Clinical opportunities

Pre-PA students have the opportunity to shadow PAs in several specialties, including neurology, orthopedics, and cardiology, in different settings, including surgery, inpatient care, outpatient care, and procedural visits, as part of a semester-long program.
