place123 Posted February 17, 2018 Share Posted February 17, 2018 Most pre-pa patient care experience professions will have a limited scope of practice. I work as an EMT right now but cant stand the pay and long hours. I may have opportunities in which I can work in other fields such as nutrition/dietetics or mental health. I am approaching a year with averaging ~50hrs per weak as an emt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UGoLong Posted February 17, 2018 Share Posted February 17, 2018 If you like it, lots of time in one area is probably fine. If you don’t like it, switch. Try to pick an area where you deal with patients fairly directly and see a variety of disease states. My best friend in PA school did mental health. We also have RDs in our classes.Good luck!Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrator rev ronin Posted February 18, 2018 Administrator Share Posted February 18, 2018 I'd recommend work concentrated in one area, shadowing in many. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
