How can I become a physicians assistant?
I’m currently a sophmore at college..so I clearly have a long ways to go.
But I want to be on the right track, what should i be studing as far as associates degree’s
And then bachelor’s? Is it possible to have your bachelor’s in physicians assisting or is the training only after getting a bachelor’s degree? I live in washington…Am willing to go to oregon for college. (Unlikely I can afford University of Washington…which according to atleast one website- UW is the only college in washington to offer physicians assisting.) Do i need medical experience before I can begin a physicians assisting program? What is the best medical position that will help me get into a program?
Alot of questions within one question..
Basicly- what is the best path to achieve this goal?
There are a few BS schools to be a PA, but theyre all on the east coast.
For the most part, PA requires a master’s degree.
PA schools are EXTREMELY competitive! Some are harder than med-schools to get into. The average age of applicants in 26 with prior medical experience, ie an EMT, LVN, CNA, tech etc… And, most schools require 1000-3000 hours of clinical experience (which is equivalent to 1 year working full time). The average GPA is around ~3.5, similar for med school. GRE of around 1200. There are also limited PA schools in the country. Most schools see around ~1000 applicants each year, and accept around 30-50 students per year. PA schools are generally 2-3 years, gaining a master’s degree.
Prereqs for most PA schools:
1 year general Bio
1 year general Chem with lab
1 year organic chem with lab
1 sem microbio with lab
1 sem anatomy with lab
1 sem physiology with lab
1 sem stats
1 sem psychology (some require abnormal as well)
1 sem sociology or cultural anthropology
Medical experience: some schools dont require any, but most require 1000-3000 hours of clinical experience.
