To apply to the Duke PA Program you must use the CASPA or Centralized Application Service Physician Assistant. After you have finished that application and submitted it, Duke will send you an e-mail that gives you authorization to access the Duke supplemental application. In addition you must have 1000 hours of direct patient care experience. Duke is very specific about what this means so read their website to be sure you have met that qualification. You will need three recommendations, one of which must come from someone who has seen you provide patient care.
Go to the Duke PA Program site and check out the admissions process.
For the 2009 year you must complete CASPA and the Duke supplemental applications after May 1 and before Oct 1, 2008. The Supplemental form by 15 Nov 2008.
The requirements for all the top programs are similar. Duke accepted 60 students into it's last class. Classes at other programs vary from 25 to 60. The applicant to seat ratio is from 20:1 to 9:1. It is competitive but not impossible.
