Physician Assistants Week 2024! (10/3/2024) - Sign up for the University of Iowa Carver College of Medicine Professional and Graduate School Virtual Conference! https://theshortcoat.com/premed/ Compared to MDs, the PA profession offers flexible employment and a (relatively) relaxed path to a healthcare career. Dave teams up with PA2s Noah Vasquez, Olivia Quinby, and Anna Cole, and PA1 Chloe Kepros to celebrate PA Week 2024! The crew looks at the unique challenges and experiences of being a physician assistant student, like why they chose the profession, the contrasts between themselves and their MD-student colleagues, the value of diverse educational backgrounds, the clinical experiences they’ve gathered along the way, the lessons they’re learning watching people in other healthcare roles, and how their different pre-PA work experiences shape their perspectives and skills. Plus, without the additional hoops physicians must jump through (eg., their match process, residency education, and state licensing), PAs enjoy a flexibility of employment that’s unmatched in the MD world.
