No Experience Required! 84 PA Schools That Don’t Require Healthcare Experience

Are you looking to get into PA School fast?

Then skip the healthcare experience!

Below is a list of 84 PA programs in the United States that do not require patient care experience for PA school admissions.

I use "require" lightly because many of these schools which claim no healthcare experience requirement do "strongly recommend" or "prefer" PA school candidates with a certain amount of experience prior to application.

In other words, you can apply, but you may not stand a chance against an increasingly capable PA school applicant pool.

I recommend 2,000 hours (1 year of full-time hands-on patient care experience) to be a competitive PA school applicant.

As you can see from this table many schools claim to require much less.

Does this mean you should wait to apply until you have a load of HCE under your belt?

The answer to this question depends on your background, your age, your prior experience and what else you bring to the table.

Are you a 21-year-old recent college graduate with no prior healthcare experience? Then the answer is yes,  you should get out there and find some hands on patient care experience... no excuses!

Are you a 35-year-old mother of two with ten years working as a licensed acupuncturist and tons of PA shadowing experience? Then you may have some wiggle room.

You can browse this interactive, geographical list of PA schools that don't require healthcare experience on my PA School Finder website.

You will see that most of these schools reside on the East Coast.

Remember, PA schools change their requirements all the time, so make sure to contact the PA program in question and reference their website before you make any rash decisions. If you have updated information or corrections on any of these programs please let me know in the comments section!
