Application requirements

The process of applying to pathologists' assistant programs is not standardized like it is with some health science master's degrees such as medical school, dental school, or physician assistant programs.  Instead, each PA program has its own set of requirements and directions that must be followed to ensure applicants submit all required materials. It is an applicant's responsibility to know and fulfill the requirements of the PA programs they wish to apply to.
