tmac12 Posted March 7, 2016 Share Posted March 7, 2016 I am interested in shadowing PAs in a bunch of different settings specifically in the San Diego region. For some reason it seems hard to get a hold and shadow a PA. So was wondering if I could stop by and shadow a PA or what is a good method to shadow a PA?

jlumsden Posted March 8, 2016 Share Posted March 8, 2016 I do not have direct experience with the California Academy of Physician Assistants, but state PA organizations sometimes help arrange shadowing for pre-PA students. Maybe a polite email to the state director could help you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kenab Posted March 8, 2016 Share Posted March 8, 2016 I'm from San Diego and go to school in Orange County and it is very difficult to find PAs to shadow in the area. The few shadowing opportunities I've been able to find were through connections, friend of a friend etc. If you work hard enough I'm sure you'll find an opportunity, but it's proven to be one of the most difficult parts of the process for me Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreyhoundGirl Posted March 8, 2016 Share Posted March 8, 2016 I am in a different city, but I had the most luck contacting PAs through LinkedIn. I specifically looked up providers who went to the same undergrad university as me. That gave me a jumping off point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kdollar Posted March 11, 2016 Share Posted March 11, 2016 pashadowonline.com I contacted all in the SD/LA area and ended up shadowing two from that site. I found two more through family friends/work. good luck! I had a tough time too. PM me if you need more info Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
