Hey John! For my entire life I’ve wanted to do something science and medicine related as a career. I always wanted to be a doctor or surgeon but upon further evaluation of what I want to do in my life and how I would like to live, I decided that being a PA seems to be by far the best option to opt for. So I decided to get my foot wet into the medical field so I went into EMS. I’m currently an EMT-B , just transferring to being a undergrad and going to a UC with a major in Psych (queue the jokes) but unfortunately, most of if not all of my educational counselors don’t really help. I’m wondering if you would consider making a video about a rough roadmap about how to get into PA school (what exams do you take ex: MCAT or GRE, what level of degree do you need ex: bachelors or masters, type of courses to take.) I will be graduating with my bachelors in about 2 years and while I have time, I would prefer to know ahead of time some of the things I listed. Also, I just found your channel and you are doing amazing things! Keep it up

Thanks for the comment! We have a very similar start then as I was an EMT-B for 7 years and loved EMS but needed to transition to something else. Yes, I plan on making one of those "road map" videos on the prerequisites / things needed to get into school (it'll be out within the next few videos). One of my degrees was technically a psych degree with a heavy focus in neurobiology, neurology and linguistics. My other degree was in French. It doesn't matter as once you have all the science-related prerequisites and grades then you're good to go on the academic front.

Thank you for pointing out the sample size of the AAPA salary report. I feel a lot of people get misled by those numbers and salaries as for most specialties listed on there (for all states) is very low in my opinion.

Parts of the report have a good sample size but that one was particularly on the low end.

You should consider putting a link to that 2020 Salary Report in your description.

Hey, sure! I'll add it right now. Technically it's only available to AAPA members or PA student members for free as a membership benefit. Otherwise one would have to pay for it

What is CME 5 days?
@JohnThePA2 жыл бұрын
5 days available to take off for CME courses. Would be helpful if you're at a conference and didn't want to use PTO
