tashoo88 Posted March 16, 2011 Share Posted March 16, 2011 Hello! My name is Tashu and I'm about to graduate this December. I'm planning to apply to PA school and would love to find shadowing opportunities with PA's in the HOUSTON area. I am currently enrolled in classes, but am willing to work around them to find a schedule that would best fit you. I also have Fridays of every week and am willing to devote it to shadowing a PA. Please let me know if you'd be willing to consider taking me on as a shadow. Please message me if you would like to get to know more about me. Thank you for your time, Tashu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
courtneylafon Posted March 20, 2011 Share Posted March 20, 2011 Hello! I'm also looking for some shadowing opportunities in the Houston Area as well. Have you possibly found some places? I have called a few hospitals as well as family practice offices but no call backs as of yet. Thanks, Courtney La Fon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amanda1285 Posted April 26, 2011 Share Posted April 26, 2011 I am also looking for a shadowing opportunity in Houston. Does anyone know of any possible opportunities? Thanks, Amanda Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kiks Posted May 15, 2011 Share Posted May 15, 2011 It is pretty difficult to get a shadowing opportunity. Your best chance would be to get in touch with a family/friend doctor who could link you up to a clinic. Or ask around at clinics. I am in the process of doing that as well. All the best.

jchilla Posted May 24, 2011 Share Posted May 24, 2011 Hello, I am a student that will be applying to PA school in the fall. I wanted to know if there were any PA shadowing opportunities available in the Houston area. I live in Katy but I am willing to travel around the area. My hours are very flexible. Also I am not particular about which field to shadow, I want to get as many hours and experience as possible. Please contact me at jchilla6@gmail.com Thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BiologyGeek Posted June 14, 2011 Share Posted June 14, 2011 It is pretty difficult to get a shadowing opportunity. Your best chance would be to get in touch with a family/friend doctor who could link you up to a clinic. Or ask around at clinics. I am in the process of doing that as well. All the best. After many searches online, I am beginning to think this is indeed the best way. Thanks for the reminder. I just wish I knew whether or not there are PA's in the NICU. My wife and I spent 6 months there with our son... until he passed. Most of the nurses, nurse practioners, and doctors we met were highly dedicated to their work. I watched as a nurse practioner was very reluctant to go home even well after his shift was over. I could tell he hated leaving... I want to have a career like that. The nurse practioner route would be a bigger shift from my current experience and personality however. Although I have a great deal of respect for what these guys do, I am much more of a "scientist," in the sense that I want to toss around ideas about the patient's problems and help formulate a treatment regimen, not necessarily only do the treating so-to-speak, which is why I think PA is the best route for me. I am currently in an adjunct teaching position at a local university, as I already have a Master of Science, but after all we have been through, I am intrigued by the PA career and want to learn more about it. Any thoughts/ideas out there guys? Best regards, David Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chum Posted August 3, 2011 Share Posted August 3, 2011 Hi everyone! (^_^) I'm new to the forum, and this is my first post. I'm a stay at home mom working on my prerequisites and will get into PA school Baylor College of Medicine in Houston in the next two years. I am also searching for shadowing opportunities. Any suggestions or luck? Thanks, Chum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest askyoulc Posted September 7, 2011 Share Posted September 7, 2011 Try Houston area public hospitals, like ones part of Harris County Hospital District. Otherwise I think your best bet is networking through friends and family. Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
