Kacey Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 I graduate PA school in August 2016 and have been considering joining a branch of the military as a PA. I am aware that there are (typically) 5 week programs combining both physical and academic aspects to prepare students for a life in the military as a Physician Assistant. Does anyone have any further experience/knowledge (ie: Air Force vs Army vs Navy, etc) and how competitive/selective these programs are. Thank you!

KetteringPA Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 I'm an Army NG PA and for the Guard the Basic officer course is 28 days. For active duty it is 8 weeks. The Navy has a 2 week course for its reserve officers and i'm not sure about active duty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
