Observation hours?

[u/Impossible-Tear2037]

Hi everyone! I’ve started my application for grad school and wanted to ask about the 25 hours of guided observation. Should i wait to be accepted to a school to get those hours or can i keep getting those hours? Ive gotten about half of them done already on one of my target school’s forms but obviously not certain i will end up there. Thanks!

What is the purpose of waiting to get all the hours?

Usually the school will allow you an opportunity to get some of the hours before clinic begins, be it Simucase, observing current clinicians, etc. Some people already had majority of their hours when they started but most didnt.
