Good options for getting patient care hours?


Recommended Posts

Hey everyone!

 

I'm new to the PA community, I used to be a pre-med student but i recently decided to change my track to pre pa

I was wondering what are some good opportunities for the 1000+ hours that you need? Im gonna be a rising junior. I know that volunteering and EMT are good options but i was wondering what were some other ones as well? Thanks!

Reach out to local clinics for shadowing opportunities. In my last RHC it was a rare week we didn't have a student of some kind...med student, PA in clinical rotations, NP rotations, shadows etc. Hospice companies actively recruit volunteers because they are required to have them. Get a core skill like phlebotomy and work as one. Nursing homes also like/accept volunteers. 

I know a lot of that is volunteer time but hey... free help is hard for folks to say no to.
