In an ideal world, you’d be able to visit every PA school you were interested in. You’d see the campus, chat with faculty, and get your questions answered. Well, we have the next best thing: virtual fairs. Not familiar with virtual fairs? They’re a way to connect with programs right from your computer or phone. You can visit each program’s “room” to have direct access to faculty and staff. Ask questions, get application tips, and find out about admission requirements. You’ll also have access to a CASPA representative so you can get details about the application process. And it’s FREE . Health professions advisors are welcome. This year we’re offering 4 virtual fairs: April 25—26 and July 13—14 . Have questions about this event? Email them to events@careereco.com . For questions not related to this event, please email students@PAEAonline.org . Sincerely,                                Danielle Di Silvestro                                Applicant

Dear Colleague, As your students begin the process of researching graduate schools, I hope they will consider our exciting new Professional Science Master's (PSM) program as an option if they are looking for a career path in the sciences. This exciting new program offers innovative strategies for preparing students for careers in one of our basic medical science disciplines in either academia or in the private or not-for-profit sectors. The PSM track prepares students for such careers by including: (1) course work related to business, management, communication skills, regulatory affairs and other topics important to career success but not specifically related to the scientific content of the chosen discipline and (2) an internship experience that will provide practical, hands-on exposure to career opportunities in the pharmaceutical, biotechnology or health care industries or related placements in the private sector.  Click here for a printable flyer.
