CASPer\u00ae Requirement for Admission Into the Medical Programs<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

About the CASPer\u00ae Test<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The Computer-based Assessment for Sampling Personal Characteristics, in short the CASPer\u00ae assessment for medical school, is an admissions test that was developed by two researchers, Dr. Harold Reiter and Dr. Kelly Dore of McMaster University. CASPer\u00ae is developed to assess the non-cognitive or non-academic attributes of an applicant in an online format during the pre-screening stage of the application process. The CASPer\u00ae exam<\/a> was first used at McMaster University Medical School since 2010 and has since then spread to various medical schools that are now requiring the CASPer\u00ae exam as mandatory to their admission process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 2014, the Northern Ontario School of Medicine piloted the test in their application cycle. Thereafter, the test was adopted by three\u00a0medical schools: the University of Ottawa Faculty of Medicine, Robert Wood Johnson Medical School and New York Medical College. Several nursing schools also adopted the CASPer\u00ae assessment in 2015. These include the nursing schools at McMaster, York University, Mohawk College and Conestoga College.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 2016, Tulane University School of Medicine, East Tennessee State University and Central Michigan University\u2019s Schools of Medicine adopted the CASPer\u00ae exam as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
