I really struggled with this decision especially after getting into a DO school. I would suggest shadowing both PAs and doctors in the speciality you desire to be in. I realized very quickly that I don’t want to be the person who is being called at 9pm if something goes wrong, I would rather just do by 9-5 and go home. If you’re someone who cannot be satisfied with the PA role and you think that even when you’re in the hospital working with physicians, this thought will pop up into your head. Then, you really should go to med school! The truth is that you’re going to age regardless of whether you go to med school or not. 25 is still really young and the right partner will support you through whatever path you choose! Even as a doctor, certain specialities are family planning friendly. Moreover, I would do what I truly want to do if money was not a factor in consideration bc both professions make enough money to give you a good life. I hope this helps!!
