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.
