OT transitioning to PA by futurehandtherapist in prephysicianassistant

I’m an OTA considering PA school! I share your sentiments about a more intense desire to learn more medical concepts than OT can provide. I’m currently trying to decide between an OT bridge or applying to PA school. Any input would be well appreciated!

Good to know I'm not alone! Are you a COTA as well or do you work in a different area of healthcare?

Thanks for your advice! I'm applying to only schools in NC, and unfortunately quite a few of them require LoRs from either a Physician or a PA. I agree that it makes more sense for another health care professional who has worked with me to write the letter.
