Title: Medical School vs PA school Post by: gemariah on Jan 21, 2014 Is it still feasible / ideal to try to be a doctor nowadays?
Or would I still be able to do / help as much being a Physician's Assistant? All those years of schooling is taunting Title: Re: Medical School vs PA school Post by: padre on Jan 22, 2014 After four years of university and finishing top of my class, I decided not to pursue my dream of becoming a physician because of all the constraints that come with being a life-long learner. If you want to work in the medical field, you could try nursing. As far as "Physician's Assistant" is concerned, I have no idea what that is. I personally wouldn't waste my time going through university to become a physicians assistant.

PA isn't that bad.. it's like 2 years of grad school, and they make a decent earning (especially PA for anesthesiology, they make bank)... if you want to finish school early and get started on your career and life quick, do PA. If you're more competitive, don't mind not having a life, do Med school...also, a lot of my female friends decided not to do med school because they want to start to start a family and whatnot soon, so that could be another influence in your decision, especially if you're female. |
