    Can you make a video talking about your undergrad experience and the application process. What volunteering things and where you did internships or shadowed ?

    Such a helpful video! I wanted to be a dermatology but now I'm thinking about being a PA but specializing in dermatology

      The PA career is amazing! I didn't start as a derm PA, but did eventually find that that was my calling. I've seen the PA path is more flexible than some of the colleagues I have worked with.

    I am currently a teacher. What would it take for me to become a dermatologist assistant? Could I possibly get a job in a dermatologist’s office and go through the schooling as I work there?

    For undergrad I wanted to do a Bachelors of science in nursing Bc it’ll give me actual experience that’s slightly in the medical field. Do you think getting a degree like that would help getting into PA school? Ik a lot of ppl usually major in biology and other sciences but I’m not really interested in a degree like that.

    • @LauraCoralPAC
      @LauraCoralPAC  3 года назад +2

      I think a degree in nursing is certainly a good option for both PA school or NP school later in the future!

    I’m a highschool senior but I want to become a PA ASAP! Do you think it’s “risky” to get a non vocational bachelors degree? I have this fear that I won’t get into PA school on the first cycle and be left jobless for a while with a degree that isn’t so useful. Right now I only know of the bachelors in nursing but I don’t wanna spend 5 years on my bachelors. I would rather just do a non vocational degree like kinesiology ahhh

    • @LauraCoralPAC
      @LauraCoralPAC  2 года назад +3

      A few people in my PA program had a degree in kinesiology! You can major in what you like, as long as you complete the PA prerequisites

    hi! im in my senior year of highschool, I was just wondering what majors you thought was best to major in for a future of a PA?

    • @LauraCoralPAC
      @LauraCoralPAC  2 года назад +3

      Biology will give you most of the requirements you need, but honestly, you can major in anything as long as you complete the pre-requisites for PA school!

    • @mia-zs4de
      @mia-zs4de 2 года назад

      @@LauraCoralPAC So i dont have to major in anything that is science related to get into PA school, but it would be recommended to major in a course like biology or nursing?

    Hi Laura, current PA looking for a job in aesthetics, I’ve been in this field for over 4 years doing laser/light therapy. Looking to get into more of the skincare side of things. Do you know if curology would hire anyone from Los Angeles?

    Hey most universities only offer a masters degree for PA ryt so I'm thinking to get specialized as dermatologist pa so I'm thinking for a bachelor's degree I go to a esthician school and after that go for pa and work as dermatology pa will that work ???? Please reply

    • @traciewiegand1070
      @traciewiegand1070 2 года назад

      Before you apply to PA masters program you will have to earn a bachelors degree (preferably in the sciences that way you will meet the master’s program prerequisites) + 1000’s of patient care experience hours (this is where you can work as a Medical Assistant or LVN etc in a dermatologist office)

    • @LauraCoralPAC
      @LauraCoralPAC  2 года назад

      Sounds like a good plan! I can’t guarantee you’ll get a derm job right out of school, but having experience in aesthetics may help!

    • @CandiedDreamz

      I'm doing this exact plan right now. I'm about to graduate esthetician school and finishing up my bachelor. I plan on becoming a PA in dermatology as well!.

      This is not my area of expertise, but I do know you have to be accredited in the United States to work as a PA.

    what is the benefit of seeing a PA when I can see an actual MD for the same price?

      PAs have better bedside manners. Doctors are more likely to be cold, rude, or dismissive.
