sav11 Posted January 17, 2018 Share Posted January 17, 2018 I am in need of PA shadowing experiences, but work as a MA full-time. I would love to be able to shadow a PA on the weekends/after-hours so I don't have to take off work to do so. Does anyone have experience with this/advice/recommendations on how or where to find such opportunities? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GetMeOuttaThisMess Posted January 18, 2018 Share Posted January 18, 2018 Move to N. Texas and work for us and you can kill two birds with one stone. We need two MA’s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greenmood Posted January 18, 2018 Share Posted January 18, 2018 Many people have difficulty finding shadowing opportunities during regular business hours; this may be exponentially harder, especially since it sounds like you don't have any leads on a person to shadow. I would start looking at hospitals or urgent cares. You need to find a place open on the weekend or at night, first. Then you can start cold calling PAs. I worked at a hospital with PAs while I was applying to schools. I took a day off work, put on a suit instead of scrubs, and went to the hospital as a shadow instead of an employee. If there is a PA in your office you should consider doing the same. Gotta use the connections you have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
