However, the Program frequently offers online webinars to provide the most up-to-date information about the program. The UM-Flint PA Program website contains the most up-to-date information about the program, and the <a href=\"https:\/\/events.umflint.edu\/gp\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Events page<\/a> contains information about admission webinars.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-primary-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-cfa37dd7f485746e9571dfbed39af251\">What information should I include for my Community Service?&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The program considers community service to be unpaid volunteer work. To verify community service, a letter on organization stationery, signed by the supervisor, must verify the type of service you delivered and the dates of service. If you have more than one letter, scan and combine the documents into one and upload them to the CASPA application.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-primary-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-6d5debf8824cf41386df2b2d89bcda43\">What documentation do you want uploaded for the \u201cClinical Hours Verification?\u201d <\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Applicants must include a letter on the organization stationery, signed by the supervisor, verifying the type of service they delivered and the dates of service. If you have multiple letters, please scan and combine the documents into one. The letter should include all hands-on health care experiences for the past two years, including a brief description and number of hours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-primary-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-75f736b60757ef87b64fb2061e60cfa8\">Will I be considered for admission with only two letters of recommendation? Who should write my letters?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Three letters of recommendation must be submitted to be considered for admission. You will not be considered for admission if you have less than three letters. At least one letter of support should be provided by a health care professional supervisor who can verify your health care experience hours. All letters should be completed by individuals who know you well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-primary-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-671bb5301332b495cea4ced0437cd6e4\">Does experience gained as a part of a university internship (nursing, exercise physiology, etc.) count toward the 500 hands-on patient care experience hours required for admission to the program? <\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Patient care experience gained through college and university courses, clinical rotations, and internships is not applicable to the UM-Flint PA Program&#8217;s 500 hours of hands-on health care experience. Hands-on patient care experience can be paid (preferable) or volunteer, but it is independent of clinical experience gained for academic credit.
