mcpikj Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 Hello. I am planning on going to PA school but there is one concern I have. I want to with an NGO doing international field work in addition to practicing. I'm wondering if I should consider Med school over PA school because of this. If there are any practicing PAs that do this sort of work I would love to hear your experience. Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JasonD Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 When Mercy Ships (http://www.mercyships.org.za/) docks at an African port, they are the most advanced hospital in sub-Saharan Africa. They need both PA's and MD's, as well as most other medical professionals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
