1, 2, 3, 4, 6 is the proper way to count.

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.

Awesome 👏🏾

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.

[@JohnThePA]

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

[@valonkrasniqi3647]

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

[@JohnThePA]

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

[@kidcrash3052]

Can you do PA salaries in Florida ?

What is CME 5 days?

[@JohnThePA]

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
