cinntsp Posted March 26, 2012 Share Posted March 26, 2012 OP...RE shadowing: I wouldn't bother shadowing unless you are interested in a school that has a shadowing requirement or you just really want to. The point of doing so is to get insight into the profession but it's moot if you interact with PAs on a daily basis and understand the role.

brendan987 Posted March 26, 2012 Author Share Posted March 26, 2012 Thanks Chris, almost everyone is telling me to shadow a PA for a day or two so I will probably do that. Anything more probably would be overkill. Three more PA programs are opening up in minnesota too in the next two years so that helps a lot too.

GatorRRT Posted March 26, 2012 Share Posted March 26, 2012 If you work with PAs on a daily basis and are knowledgable as to what a PAs role is in healthcare, there is no point to shadow. I know I didn't. When it came up in my interview, I explained how I worked with PAs in my role as an RT. As long as you have significant exposure to the PA profession, don't sweat the shadowing.
