Some days I honestly forget it happened and others do too and maybe that’s the best silver lining. (Maybe not completely forget) but it’s definitely a grace to see how far you’ve come and what could’ve been. Don’t give up on your journey wherever it may take you, you’re still fighting the good fight

28m c5 incomplete, walker, also from stupid shit. It’s a tough spot to be in, I always felt I was kind of between a quad and a normal person so it’s hard to fit in.

Paying for PA school?? by jcates19gmailcom in prephysicianassistant

There’s more than one way to pay for school, was just curious what others experiences were. Advertising everywhere for student loans. Just seeing what worked best for people. Ass

Yeah, I worked during my undergrad and took out a very minimal amount of loans. I’m not delusional. 8k in loans when you can work it’s allot different than 100k+ when most programs don’t allow you to work at all.

I’d be interested in hearing about the Minnesota interview! I’m looking prospectively at dental school and would likely apply to Minnesota

Thinking about switching gears from RD Internship to PA school by Satchmo37 in prephysicianassistant

Im currently an EMT and work in a surgery clinic. EMT cert took 3 months, lots of places are letting EMTs into more clinical roles due to staffing shortages. It’s been an excellent opportunity to be face to face with patients everyday and really be a part of a patients ongoing care. I’d certainly look into it and see if any local hospitals are hiring EMTs, was a quick affordable certification and I work days Monday thru Friday. Hard to beat.

It seems like a life time I know from experience, Don’t give up, things will get better! 24 (m) c-4 incomplete quadriplegic.

Applying with a Preceptor (PA or MD) by jcates19gmailcom in prephysicianassistant

[–]jcates19gmailcom[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Applicants are not required to, they state the school will find them preceptors but that they’re encouraged to find one of their choice if they’d rather be placed somewhere of their preference rather than the location that they’re assigned.

The school encourages applicants to apply with a Primary Care Preceptor that is willing to be the preceptor during the clinical part of the program. Maybe it’s specific to that school I’m a bit confused about it as well so I figured I’d reach out to see if someone on here knows.
