How do you go about finding a PA to shadow?


Recommended Posts

Where do you start? I know of noone that I can shadow.

 

 

You can start here tool Where are you looking to shadow and what kind of PA? I've had three from this forum shadow me so far.

1) ask your physician, 2) ask your boss (assuming you work in the medical field somehow)--in my case, that was the EMS medical director of the county where I was a volunteer EMT-B. Backup plans included 3) ask your relatives (I have a cousin that's a PA), and 4) ask old people you know whose eyes light up when you tell them you want to be a PA when you grow up. A bit less direct, but if they love their PA, odds are their PA will look favorable when you call and tell them their patient recommended them to you.
