Covid-19 Admissions Update

The Touro College Physician Assistant Programs are fully prepared for the 2020-2021 academic year to commence following all federal and state guidelines for in-person (labs and experientials) and remote instruction.

Due to COVID-19 related obstacles, the following adjustments will be made to our admissions requirements provided that all other academic and GPA requirements are met.

Applications will be accepted and processed without completed Direct Patient Care experience and/or PA shadowing hours with the understanding that these hours will be completed as soon as permissible and may be required in the event of acceptance if circumstances allow.
If applicants are unable to obtain a letter of recommendation from a Physician Assistant, three written recommendations, submitted through CASPA will be accepted. In the event of acceptance, a letter of recommendation from a PA may be required, if circumstances allow.
