The Spring 2022 semester brought a number of recruitment and advisement opportunities for the MSU PAS department. The program advised a variety of prospective applicants that included pre-professional student organizations at Mizzou and UMKC, the MSU Spring Showcase, Go CAPS schools, Mercy Health Sciences Academy, and several recruitment/career fairs.
We were pleased to host two on-campus open house information sessions and one-virtual session this semester. During the sessions, prospective students met PAS faculty and staff, participated in Q&A session with current PA students, chatted with alum Travis Bell, and toured facilities utilized by PAS including the O’Reilly Clinical Health Sciences Center and the McQueary Family Health Sciences Hall. After meeting many wonderful prospective applicants, we are excited for the current application cycle.
CASPA officially opened on April 28th for the 2022-2023 cycle. The deadline to apply for the MSU PA cohort beginning January 2023 is July 15, 2022. All prerequisite coursework must be complete by Summer 2022. Applicants who have questions about the CASPA application process will find helpful information on the CASPA Applicant Help Center.
On social media, we are continuing our series on #MedLifeMondays featuring clinical students on the department Facebook and will begin highlighting didactic students on our newly created Instagram account.
