Hi @midwest_parent,

Physics is a hard requirement for entry as students will take a year of college level physics and we’d like to see them have exposure to that level of work prior to taking that course. I would suggest trying to double up on both the physics and A&P as most of our applicants tend to have 5 years of a lab based science.

I would suggest any summer experience which can provide observation hours for someone who is a PA, an emergency department of a hospital, local doctors office, local community health center, or even joining a local volunteer fire department as an EMT in training. Our program requires a student complete their EMT certification by the end of their sophomore year here at QU, and some students complete that while they’re in high school.

Please let me know if you have any questions.

Paul
