Greetings John! I think the PA-CAT is a better entrance exam than the GRE. I DO wish that the pre-requs were more consistent. Things have become MUCH more competitive than when I got in back in 98'.😰 I'm already subscribed to you, but here's a "👍🏾". Keep the great videos coming!👋🏾👨🏾⚕️
@JohnThePA4 жыл бұрын
Thanks for the comment Omar! I agree that using the GRE for PA admissions never made sense to me. Why are you making PA students do an exam solely based on math & English. And then, your score is compared to those entering graduate school for math, English, philosophy, and other PhD programs. A PA specific exam is probably a much more useful route for both PA students and PA programs.

I really excel in math and science. I remember tutoring a lot of students in my anatomy class. I am going to finish my goal of working in medicine. I plan on going back to school for either PA or anesthesiologist assistant. I'm just weighing out the best option. I'm a huge math and science nerd. I used to read MCAT study guides when I was in high school. I definitely know I will excel in either field. This video has been insightful.

Be a PA. Don’t be an AA. Unless you want to have to work side by side with an MD and have to have every single thing cleared by them and have to work under their license. You will have zero autonomy. At least a PA gets a lot of freedom. I can’t imagine being an AA. That would be miserable.

@JohnThePA2 жыл бұрын
I don't think he can go wrong with either option. His decision depends on what sort of day-to-day he wants and future goals. The PA is seeing patients, putting in orders/planning care and interpreting the tests. The nurses typically execute on that care. I think nursing has a lot more career paths available to it, further education opportunities, and plenty of specialties to choose from. Nurses will always be in high demand. PAs typically will earn a bit more but this is not a universal fact as I've seen some high nursing salaries in certain states or even in travel nursing.

Your best bet is to look at the requirements of a handful of programs you may be interested in and see whether they have a preference for the GRE or PA-CAT. Some programs want an exam done but don't care which one.

@JohnThePA4 жыл бұрын
I did find clinical year to be a notch "easier" than didactic year. Overall you had a bit more time to yourself with certain rotations and even though you still had to study for EORs you had more spaced out time to do so. What's difficult for people would be adjusting to the new rotation sites and having to learn information on the fly. The type of stuff in your day-to-day Peds rotation will be different than the stuff you'll be expected to know during your surgery rotation. There were so many exams I can't even give you a specific on the second part of your question. One week we may have a paper exam and a clinical exam followed by 3 exams the next week. They will usually space out exams with a day or two in between them if they could. Hopefully a PA student could give you more specifics

What class is the C in and are you able to retake the class and try for a higher grade the second time around? Say you earn a C the first time in chemistry but retake it and earn an A.

What was the situation behind the low grade and what did you do differently to learn from your initial poor performance? The introspection is about yourself (I didn't adequately prepare; I skipped class; I'm a visual learner and I didn't watch videos) versus external factors (i.e, the professor was a "jerk!" or life events / stress).

is it easy to get an ER job as new grad?
@JohnThePA4 жыл бұрын
The key word in your question here being "easy." The employers that hire for an ER will usually want candidates with a few years of experience in emergency medicine. However some specify that they will consider things like critical care or urgent care experience to be equivalent to that. Most ERs are not very conducive places to learn unless you're at a teaching institution or a smaller location. This is why a handful of new grads are going into those emergency medicine "residencies" for a year to gain more experience and get their foot in the door somewhere. Whether you need this or not is up to you. While it's difficult to find an ER job as a new grad, it isn't impossible. I attribute how I got my job to a lucky situation. The PA at my hospital was moving across the country and they needed the position filled almost immediately. It is in a bit of a rural location. My friend initially received an email about the position however he forwarded it to me as he already had a job in pain management.

I think as long your courses are not that old you should be OK. Some PA school requirements could be like you prerequisite courses shouldn't be older than 5 to 10 years old.

Hey, I am studying bachelors in medical lab technology, will i be eligible to apply for pa school and become one after this?

Hi, if your bachelor's degree has all of the prerequisite classes needed for PA school, then you can apply for PA school. You can major in underwater basket weaving and get into PA school if you take the classes they require so only you can really answer your own question.

How do you bet all this time and money on a career that’s not even guaranteed in the end?
@JohnThePA Жыл бұрын
The people who want it will go to great lengths to get there and nothing is guaranteed in life. Many other high-paying medical jobs will have similar requirements or MORE requires (i.e., pharmacist or physician). At the end of the day, you're taking care of other people and you have to know what you're doing.
