Medical Assistant

Question... Can someone who has had medical assistant jobs train to become a PA? What kind of training would I have to do?

Of course, Frank. Medical assisting is a common pathway to gain experience in medicine. To make yourself a viable candidate for a PA program, you\'ll need some to a lot of healthcare experience, depending on the school to which you apply.

From here, I\'d suggest you check out our thread on the steps to becoming a PA. It should answer all of your questions.

Thanks,

It is essential to be medically assisted when you have a problem and not to do any self-medication.

Medical assisting background can be a good way to learn clinical skills in a physician setting. There are practices that will mentor and hire medical assistants involved in pre PA settings. They are usually open for hire for the 1000 -2000 hr clinical pre req needed for PA school. A letter of recommendation is usually provided after completion of the set hours .
There is an internal medicine practice on long island New York that offers this opportunity.
