Hi, I'm currently a senior in high school and I'm interested in entering the medical field and becoming a future PA.

You can also get all your clinical hours acquired through this route, and work as a nurse before applying to PA school to finish courses or to pay off loans.

I was pre-physical therapy but after doing research I realized thats not for me and PA's actually have more autonomy than PTs.
