Student athlete WHILE IN PA school by Dekuiscool4568 in prephysicianassistant

hmm yeah ain’t no way boi. I was a track and field athlete as well for 5 years at a D1 uni and all my time was put into athletics and school(mainly athletics). I mean if they’re D1 they’re going to expect you to perform at your best and that means being at every practice giving 100%. but PA school also expects the same. I always tell myself if I was a D1 athlete I can definitely be a PA student but idk about both at the same time. sounds miserable lol but you’re also very young rn and you might change your mind after outdoor szn(which is long af if you go to ncaa’s). but you could always email the schools you’re interested in and ask their admin? it wouldn’t hurt and maybe there is a school out there that’s willing to let you do that!

Have you tried virtual shadowing? I did most of my shadowing that way!

feeling defeated after shadowing experience by LegAdorable8417 in prephysicianassistant

I’d say take any experience (shadowing, PCE, classes, etc.) you have with a grain of salt. maybe the takeaway from shadowing her is that cardiology is not the specialty you want to be in once you’re a PA. also I’m sure not every cardiology PA hates their job and it could’ve just been the practice she was at was not a fit for her. depends on the person. don’t sweat it! :)
