mtorr_ca Posted February 6, 2017 Share Posted February 6, 2017 Hi Everyone, I am looking to shadow more physician assistants in Kern County, CA. Does anyone know of some PAs that are willing to take pre-pa students to shadow? Or who and where have you shadowed in Bakersfield? Thanks!

rrodriguez Posted February 8, 2017 Share Posted February 8, 2017 I'm in Bakersfield. I found PAs to shadow through volunteering at Mercy SW and networking at info sessions. I also work at a community health center, you could try calling different clinics and asking the office manager if they would allow you to shadow a willing PA. Hope this helps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mtorr_ca Posted February 10, 2017 Author Share Posted February 10, 2017 I'm in Bakersfield too! I volunteered at SJCH with Steve Hanson. When you volunteered at Mercy SW what department were you in? Did you enjoy volunteering there? Do you have any contacts for PAs? I reached out to a few office managers, but they don't seem to call me back.. Thanks!

rrodriguez Posted February 10, 2017 Share Posted February 10, 2017 ED; not particularly. It's what you make it though- I used it to network and study for exams when the work was done I do but I am hesitant about connecting them with someone I don't know. Just keep plugging away, it'll happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
