Which organization administers CASPA admissions tools?

• A. PAEA
• B. CASPA
• C. SEMPA
• D. ASPA

Answer: (A)

CASPA is the centralized application service used by many physician assistant programs to collect applications, transcripts, and letters of recommendation. The organization that administers its admissions tools is PAEA, the professional association for PA education programs. PAEA oversees the CASPA system, maintains the application portal, sets deadlines, and guides the process across programs to ensure a consistent experience for applicants. The other groups focus on different aspects of PA practice or education and do not run CASPA’s admissions tools.
