AzraCr Posted August 3, 2017 Share Posted August 3, 2017 Hi! How do you guys find places where you may shadow a PA. I have signed up with a couple of websites but that was no help.

philllyvee Posted August 3, 2017 Share Posted August 3, 2017 Easiest way is through first getting a job in the healthcare field. Your network will explode and someone should definitely be able to help you find a PA to shadow. Sent from my SM-G955U using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest HanSolo Posted August 3, 2017 Share Posted August 3, 2017 Ask friends and family. Someone undoubtably knowns someone working in the healthcare field. Network through there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AzraCr Posted August 4, 2017 Author Share Posted August 4, 2017 If I find a PA who is willing to allow me to shadow, do I not need to go via the hospital as well to get approval? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest HanSolo Posted August 4, 2017 Share Posted August 4, 2017 They will likely know what you have to do to get in. Most places will just make you sign a confidentiality form. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Endeavor Posted August 4, 2017 Share Posted August 4, 2017 Working in the healthcare field will definitely get you some good networking. Also don't be shy to ask friends who are also working in the medical field if they know a PA and go from there. Reach out via email or text and be polite and professional.
