ten years. They can have been completed at an undergraduate or post‐baccalaureate level, or
through graduate work.
 -Anatomy (4 semester credits or 5 quarter units)*

acceptable)
 Combined Anatomy and Physiology Course for two semesters is also acceptable
 -Chemistry (4 semester credits or 5 quarter units; Organic Chemistry is acceptable)
 - General Statistics or Biostatistics

 In addition to the courses above, we recommend 3 additional upper-division-level science
courses. Ideally these courses should have been completed at an undergraduate or post‐
baccalaureate level, or through graduate work, and within the last ten years and completed
by the time of matriculation. Some examples of acceptable courses are listed below.

We also suggest that applicants (especially those without strong prior healthcare experience)
consider taking a course in Medical Terminology prior to matriculation (no specific course type or
units/credits recommended).
Entrance Requirements
Applicants must have received an undergraduate degree from a regionally accredited US
college or university by July 15th of the year of matriculation; no specific discipline or major is
prescribed. Prior healthcare experience (>500 hours) through either prior employment or volunteer
work is strongly recommended. In addition, prior leadership or service work in a medically
underserved area is desirable.
Graduate Record Examination (GRE) is required. Please note that GRE scores are only valid for
five years.
Candidates will be required via CASPA to submit a personal statement (limited to 5,000
characters) and three letters of reference. These references should reflect the applicant's ability
to perform graduate‐level work and address the individual's professionalism, integrity, and
motivation. Prior employers, professional colleagues, and academic advisors are acceptable
references.
Candidates via CASPA will also be requested to answer four questions specifically designed for
the Stanford School of Medicine MS in PA Studies program. The questions relate to future PA
practice, leadership potential, most likely area of scholarly concentration and contributions to
diversity.
