Anyone have an idea if PA school can waive the CRE for MDs with ECFMG certification?

Hello, I am also willing to know, I heard its not, where r u looking for PA school

[ArchivalUser]

Most of the schools need at least 520 hours work experience as medical assistant, nurse etc. They don't count volunteer experience. MD with ECFMG may not count...

moneygram: does externship hours fulfill 520 hrs work experience of pt contact?

[ArchivalUser]

The schools I know require paid work experience.

I just finished pa school, as per hours you can put all your internship hours and shadowing hous.
they don't take ecfmg certificate into consideration.

Hi,
I think it is different according to the school but as any graduate school GRE is a must.May be there is exception?
