Casper helps identify those candidates with personal attributes important to being a great healthcare practitioner:

• In Medicine, complaints about healthcare providers are most often linked to their professionalism. These skills are hard to teach, and even harder to identify with traditional admissions methods. Casper provides data-driven insights into an applicant’s people skills, helping institutions set-up their future physicians for success.
• Physician Assistants are on the front line of patient care. They must communicate effectively with the patient and physician to facilitate treatment. A strong bedside manner and exceptional people skills are key to a PA’s success. Casper helps prepare PA’s by identifying these skills before they begin training.
• Nurses spend more time at a patient’s bedside than any other healthcare professional. Yet, the admissions process for nursing programs puts a large emphasis on only cognitive measures. Casper provides the opportunity to base decisions on more than just grade point average.
• Allied health professionals are challenged to guide patients at every stage of wellness. Promoting overall well being, diagnosing illness, and guiding rehabilitation all require sustained and trusting relationships between professionals and patients. It is important to identify candidates with the foundation to build long-term relationships with patients.

Casper helps ITE programs meet the AITSL Selection Guidelines for assessing and selecting based on non-academic criteria:

• Communication, resiliency, self-awareness, empathy, collaboration, compassion, and enthusiasm. These are skills necessary for teacher success but impossible to assess based on academic abilities alone. AITSL has set forth a requirement for all Initial Teacher Education (ITE) programs across Australia to objectively measure these competencies at the admissions level.
• By providing a data-driven assessment of an applicant’s non-academic criteria, Casper offers ITE programs the ability to select applicants who will succeed inside and outside the classroom.
• Casper’s evidence-based approach meets AITSL’s accreditation requirements and gives ITE programs a more holistic view of applicants’ non-academic skills. With situational judgement based questions, which focus on the “why” of the response instead of a “right or wrong” model, an applicant can truly demonstrate their people skills and unique approach to managing complex situations.

Many academic programs can benefit from gaining unique insights into their applicants:

• Professional programs such as engineering, business, and law, can all benefit from objectively measuring their applicants’ professionalism and personal characteristics critical to success in the program and after graduation as a professional. 
• Casper can be easily used alongside cognitive metrics, like grade point average and standardized cognitive tests, to provide programs with a look not only into the academic strength of their applicant pool, but also non-academic strength. Helping determine the best suited applicants for the program.
