Description: This session presents an analysis on the utility of CASPer in PA program admissions, identifying a threshold score for screening in applications. CASPer score was strongly associated with interview and acceptance to the program, independent of undergraduate GPA and GRE. Importantly, there were no appreciable racial or socioeconomic biases.

Learning Objectives:

  • Describe the predictive ability of CASPer for receiving an invitation to interview or matriculate to a single PA program
  • Identify whether there were any differences in CASPer scores between racial and socioeconomic groups
  • Determine whether requiring the CASPer served as a barrier to applying to the PA program
