I need help with figuring out how to get my direct patient care hours for pa school. I don't know if I should get a certification to be an EMT since I've heard people talk about being a CNA. Also, people listed out options such as a physical therapist aide. I just finished getting a Bachelors in Biology and I'm confused on what to do to get my hours fast to go apply to pa school. What did you do to get your direct patient care hours.

EMT certification would be great, and it counts towards your science GPA. EMT healthcare hours are looked at favorably, but it just depends if you have the time to go through the course. then start accruing hours, then apply to PA school. however, i dont know if you'll have time to do all of that and apply this cycle. you can also work as a medical assistant or CNA but those also requires certification and schooling.
