Health Professions Associations COVID-19 Websites
Many of the health professions associations are aware of the changes and challenges you are facing at this time due to COVID-19. You may have questions around the overall impact on their application and the application process, such as, policies on pass/fail courses, delay in the opening of an application cycle, response around shadowing experiences, etc.
In an effort to help address your questions, many of the health professions associations and centralized application services (CAS) have developed a specific COVID-19 website or page where you can find updated information. Below is a chart of some of the health professions and their related websites to make it easier for you to know where to go to find this information. I hope you find this helpful and it will be updated with additional health professions as needed.
