Student Employment Policy

Students should not expect to be able to work while in the Program. Students who choose to work typically have difficulty keeping up with their coursework and have a significantly increased risk of academic difficulties. If a student finds it financially necessary to work, they must provide a written notification to the Program Director that includes the schedule. A student's Program schedule will not be amended to accommodate outside employment.

The CWRU PA Program does not allow students to work for the PA Program in a paid or volunteer capacity under any circumstances - this includes substituting for or functioning as instructional faculty. Additionally, during clinical rotations, students will not be used to substitute for regular clinical or administrative staff under any circumstances.
