Hello so first off, I'm a senior in high school interested in the health field, and looking mainly at the physician assistant profession. Currently, I don't seem to have the drive to go through 4 years of med school + and many more years of residency. I would also hate to pay off all the debt as well. I want to finish school early, less debt, start a family, and then possibly start a business. However, I heard that PA's have a hard time starting their own clinic and they must have a MD with them all times, is that true? The main reason to start my own clinic is because I want to be a little more independent from a MD, and I like business also. Which states allow me to practice independently? I'm from New York. Now how will I make money? Will I have to pay the doctor more money than me, if my business becomes successful? -
I had to retake one class my freshman year, and I really do not want to waste a few sentences in my personal statement to speak about it. Although, I also understand it is best to address it somewhere. Is there another place on CASPA to discuss shortcomings on your application? I do not see a place, but I want to make sure I am not missing something.

High school student: Should I be a PA or MD/DO?
pacentur posted a topic in Pre-PA General Discussion
I'm a senior in high school, and I'm really interested in the health field. I'm deciding between a PA or a MD/DO. However, my Indian parents are really pushing/forcing me to go to a 6 year foreign med school to become a doctor in the U.S. As of right now, I would rather be a PA because: Start working faster Paying off your debts faster compared to MD Start a family faster Less schooling However, I am young, and I feel I might regret not becoming a doctor when I'm older. My parents keep discouraging me whenever I tell them that I want to be a PA. They say that PA's clean sh*t up, get less money, get no respect, and work longer than a doctor while doing the same work. Should I become a PA or MD?
