CASPA Walkthrough: Webinar and Application Guide

CASPA is the Centralized Application Service for Physician Assistants, and it is the gateway to almost every PA program. It can feel overwhelming the first time you open it, so in this live webinar Savanna walks through the application section by section and explains what each part is asking for.

The goal is to demystify the process. We cover how the application is structured, the parts that tend to confuse people, and the order that makes the most sense to tackle things. Savanna also answers your burning CASPA questions live, which is often where the most useful, real-world tips come out. If you are staring at a blank CASPA application and not sure where to begin, this walkthrough gives you a clear starting point so you can move forward with confidence instead of guessing.

This webinar pairs well with a stack of free and paid resources we love. Savanna used the session to launch The Pre-PA Workbook, A Step-by-Step Guide Through the Physician Assistant Application Process, now available on Amazon. It walks you through the whole application in order.

We also pointed people to the official CASPA FAQ and quick start guide from Liaison, fee waiver information, and our own guides on calculating your CASPA GPA and sorting science versus non-science courses. For deeper topics, there are resources on the Casper test and letters of recommendation, plus Mappd for tracking everything as you go. If you want a human to review your essays or weigh in on your specific situation, our essay review and counseling sessions are there for you. Note that any specific dates or fees mentioned in the original webinar are cycle-specific.

If CASPA feels intimidating, this walkthrough is the friendliest way to get your bearings before you dive in. Watch it through, keep the workbook handy, and tackle one section at a time. When you want personalized eyes on your application or essays, our counseling and review services are ready to help.
