PA vs MD - Why I Chose Physician Assistant Over Doctor
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 15 фев 2021
- Considering PA vs MD? Not sure whether you should go to physician assistant school or medical school? Only you can make that very personal decision, but here are some things that helped me decide. I highly recommend shadowing as much as possible if you might want to be a PA or a physician. One career isn't "better" than the other, and while they are similar, there are differences in being a doctor (MD or DO) and a PA. My husband went to MD school while I was in PA school, but we were both biology majors, and fun fact, we got married while we were in school!

What are your reasons for choosing PA or MD? I would love to hear about your experiences and thought process. Thank you so much for watching and let me know what you want to see next!
I guess bc it takes less time to become a PA than doctor.
@Jennie Chapman All of the info is on www.thepaplatform.com or you can always email me!
For me its lesser hours, less student loans, flexibilty when moving among different specialties in medicine and by the time I'm 24 or 23 I will be working as a healthcare professional
@@sheldenkay8614 those are all great reasons!
I chose MD because the extra investment of time, energy, and money is worth the value you can create for patients as the leader of the healthcare team.
Wow this is sooo helpful!! I’m a first year college student and exactly in the same boat as you were in undergrad! I’m pretty set on PA while I was originally pre-med but I’m not 100% sure because I still need to shadow people. Pretty impossible with the pandemic but hopefully will be able to soon! Thank you for everything Savanah!!! ❤️❤️
Me too, PA seems more logical
So happy to help!
Omg I’m having the same problem
Fyi DO school is medical school. MD and DO are both routes to becoming a physician.
Thanks for watching! I'm aware of that and looked into both since there are different as well.
I wish I would have shadowed before deciding on medicine, or at least med school. I work as a scribe right now in my Junior year and my GPA has been slipping and I have no research experience. I feel drained and wish I would have possibly pursued the PA route instead...I don't know if I'm cut out for med school.
How is it going ?
Thank you for sharing your experience with us.
How do you get the opportunity to shadow? Do you call a facility up, is it through your school, or?
Hii im indian,my study BHMS( Bachelor of homeopathy medicine and surgery) (5.5 year) i ask you its possible i m enter the pa pogrom ??
how do I complete my prereq classes without majoring in science-based majors? i absolutely hate bio and chem and i was wondering if i can just major in whatever i want.
You can definitely major in what you want, the thing is that you need to take the academic prereq classes needed for the programs you're planning on applying to, which involves bio/chem/phys etc.
I’m not telling u that u should be a nurse, but since nursing is my plan B I decided to major in that. Then I’ll work as a nurse for 1-2 years while I take prereqs for PA school AND I’ll be earning my PCE at the same time. And if PA school doesn’t work out at least I have nursing to fall back on. So I would say major in ur plan B. But if it’s not in healthcare remember that you need PCE to get in.
You can pick a major that's non specific and just make sure you select pre reqs for PA school that will fit in your natural science courses and electives etc. That's what i did for my BA and I was fine
@@shad3128 how do you complete ur pre-reqs after undergrad? I’m majoring in psychology btw
What other educational programs/ degree can a PA have for career advancement.
PAs can go on to receive doctorate degrees in order to teach, do research, or work in healthcare administration. The DMSc degree is specific for the PA profession. Having said that, there are many other jobs PAs can do without further schooling, such as becoming a Medical Science Liaison with pharmaceutical and medical device companies. PAs can also enter healthcare administration without further degrees, but and MBA or other business education would be helpful.

I just saw your question and thought I would tell you my thoughts. First, it doesn't matter what your degree is as long as you have all the required classes for the school you want to attend. Unfortunately, this differs by school. So, you need to go the websites of the schools you are interested in and see what courses they require. (I looked at several and made a spread sheet) Because of your degree, you likely have many or all of the courses required, but you would need to have those certified as equivalent to US courses. There are several companies that will do this for a fee. Finally, there is a time limit on when you completed those courses. They have to be within 5 years for most schools. Once you have all the course requirements and about 1,000 hours of patient care experience, you can apply.
