@@erikaquevedo1833it doesn't matter where a random person is going to school. Also, it's not a good idea to just disclose that kind of info. If you are interested in being a PA,please just do research on the internet like these videos & shadow in your area. Most hospitals have shadow programs. Good luck
Hi Dani, I am almost done with my freshman year of undergrad in North Carolina. I am aspiring to be a PA and your videos are so awesome and so helpful!
PA is more for people who are already in the healthcare profession and want to do something more. If you're still an undergrad I would go for med school or do a different healthcare profession. Doctors get paid a lot more than PA's and they do almost the same work.
@@matthewchow49912nd year PA student here! (: Respectfully, not true! PA is a great career for people that may be wanting to make a career change from a different healthcare career, or even a completely different industry altogether (many of my classmates are 30+, worked in finance, etc) so I understand you're point there. However, a vast majority of my classmates, including me, are chasing being a PA as a first career. Everyone has a personal reason as to why PA vs physician, but summing up the difference as simply getting paid more for almost the same work is a crude overgeneralization. Physicians specialize for life whereas PAs can work in different specialties across their career (or at the same time as you see in this video!) Also, med school + residency is a minimum of 7 years while PA school is 2-3 years and you begin working and making 6 figures. Also less years of schooling and subpar pay in residency = less debt. Do your research and determine you're why! Both are great and rewarding careers.
@@matthewchow4991I also disagree. I knew I wanted to be a PA since freshman year. I did not want to be a physician. Being a PA is not a backup plan to med school. If I wanted to be a physician I would have went that route. There’s so many advantages of being a PA compared to a physician. Of course on the flip side they also have advantages on us. Most notably higher pay. But I’m so happy with being a PA.
Did you go to NSU? Was trying to read your sweatshirt. I did. Fort Myers. Graduated 2020. Went back to Jacksonville to work (started in family med). Left in November from that job. Got married in April and moved to SC. Just got my SC license last week and working on getting a job here (not family med 😂)
Question: In a perfect world, I would like to go straight to MD School to be a radiologist right after getting my bachelors. However, that costs money and time and I’m not sure I’d be able go into that much debt. Would you recommend going to PA school, being a PA for a few years, and then working on my medical degree side-by-side ? If not, what would you do ? This question is for anyone with insight, no right or wrong I just want some help/feedback
Agree with the other comment. I’m a PA. Don’t waste time and money being a PA if you want to be a physician. Programs also try to weed those people out on interviews asking why you want to be a PA and not a doctor.
@gaby7x91are u studying MSC pa if yes how about the subjects and exams are they tough ... I'm also looking to be a pa I had completed bsc in anaesthesia and operation theatre technology so if u know plz share it with me plzz.....
Hi! Don't know if this reply is way too late for you, but thought I would offer my perspective. (I have been a PA since 2015) I think the first question should be: Are you SURE you want to work in medicine at all? Have you have taken the time to shadow providers (be they MDs, PAs, and/or NPs) and have seen what their days are really like? If yes, AND you understand how hard it has become working in medicine, and you still want to work in medicine, then good! Let's move to the next point. Have you gotten very clear on why you want to be an MD, and more specifically, why a radiologist? I ask this because choosing between MD and PA is not just a matter or time and money. There are advantages to being a PA, just like there are advantages to being an MD. PAs can work in Interventional Radiology, as well as regular Radiology. (although PAs are not doing final reads on radiology) PAs also have great flexibility to change specialties should they grow tired of a specialty or just decide they don't like it. Of course, MDs do have some flexibility too, but usually that is just developing a niche within a specialty. Anyway, the point is that PAs can have very full and developed careers with lots of satisfaction, but you will never be an MD and have to accept that sometimes you will be treated with disrespect no matter how skilled you become or how much experience you have. So, only you can decide which you'd rather be. Now, if you know 100% your goal is to be an MD, then just work towards that. Becoming a PA is exhausting and extremely difficult. Yes, it's less years of school, but it is more intense than med school, at least in the didactic year. Also, PA school is expensive and you will NOT be able to work during school, so unless parents are paying for it, most people come out with some hefty student loans! So, you will have to work YEARS just to pay it off, let alone start building a nest egg. During those years, life happens and it often becomes much harder for people to go back to school, let alone med school. Right now, there is only 1 bridge program (that I know of) that allows PAs to go to abbreviated med school to become physicians. Even then, it's still a 3 year program. So, you would need to plan on having to do all of med school. You would still incur all the debt you would have originally, now just later in life. You probably could pick up some occasional shifts as a PA while in med school, but not enough to significantly lessen the debt load. The last thing to consider are med school prerequisites. I know for most PA schools, the required pre-req classes must be completed within 5 years of admission. I imagine many med schools have similar requirements. So, if you've worked as a PA for 5-10 years and then want to go to med school, it's possible you would have to take many of the required undergrad classes again. Which costs more money and takes more time. So, as others have said, if you really want to be an MD, then just go for it!
Do you think working in urgent care is good experience before working in the emergency department? I want to go into EM as a PA but i'm not entirely sure as a new grad if i'll feel ready for it.
I’m a PA and I would say it’s actually better to start in the ER as a new grad than UC. Reason being is you will have others there and not just you. Being in UC, a lot of the times it’s one provider. And we need on the job training when we first start.
Hey! How did you get your patient care hours to apply to PA school? Did you have to take a gap year or do it during college? And if so what did you do? Thank you !!!!
Hi Dani, could you tell me what is a good help to apply to PA school? Is PA platform good or there is one called PAMO, is that a good one? Or is there a better one? Please let me know. Thank you
I'm a physician assistant from India how can I get a job there or I need to join in PA school?to become an international PA . Can you tell me about admission fees for PA school
Yes you will have to go to Pa school. You can google this but first you have to somehow get your schooling from India and see what will be accepted towards a bachelors. You need a US bachelors degree I do believe and maybe all the prerequisite done in the US. Then you must apply and get into PA school, go through school, and pass the boards.
Background: I am from India. I am having graduation in biotechnology. Currently I am a Virtual medical scribe. I have made EMR/ EHR for 2000+ patients for US healthcare provider. Working with different provider of different specifications including Urgent care, podiatry, IM/ FM, etc. Question: Now, I want to become PA in US. But don't know is my degree is valid there or not and if what would be the next step to reach the goal....plz guide me. Commenting you with a lot of hope.
From my understanding, no matter the degree you hold, you HAVE to go to school in the US and get certified here. But your Healthcare experience could definitely help you on the admissions process. Depending on the school you apply to, they might want hands on experience with patients while others may accept your scribe experience. Might help to reach out to admissions teams to specific schools of interest. Good luck!
If you have a bachelor’s, you can apply to PA school here in the US as long as you meet the prerequisite requirements of the school you’re applying to. Look at individual program requirements, so you can see what they need in terms of patient care hours, prerequisites, volunteer hours, etc.

Did u go to pa school because of ur mcat or something some people settle instead of going with medical school
Most likely not. Most PA students are not want to be doctors. Programs will weed out those people. PA school is not a backup plan.
Why would someone go to PA school as a back up? It’s either you actually want to be in the profession or you don’t
your man is sooo cute
You are very beautiful
HOT!!
she's complaining but her morning workout is CLEARLY more taxing and grueling than her day job and she's getting paid an undeserved amount for it.
