Observation/Volunteer hours in Arizona

[jjdavies05]

Hello,

 

My name is Jonathan Davies. Over the years health care has inspired me to become a physician assistant. After my recent graduation from Arizona State University, I have been on a mission to find a Pre-PA friendly facility that will allow me to assist their medical team. Besides the enjoyment of patient care, this opportunity would improve my credentials as a candidate applying to PA school. Unfortunately, to gain a role in the hospital I must carry a certification. Since this is a case I am continuing my studies for PA programs (pre-reqs/recommended courses) at ASU (microbiology/genetics). In addition to my coursework, I plan to complete my CNA (3-5wk program).

 

My prior experience within health care has been spent mostly with an orthopedic practice (inpatient/outpatient setting). Also, I have followed many physicians in the primary care environment. However, I would like to enhance my exposure by finding a position around an active PA to better understand the roles and responsibilities of their career.

 

I would really enjoy an urgent care/non-profit health clinic because of the flexible hours around school and diversity of patients, but I am willing to assist where ever needed. If you have any ideas/opportunities, please contact me via email/phone with the information :)

 

Thank you for you time

(I am in the process of applying to graduate programs for my future PA studies, but would like to stay involved with the progressing field of medicine. )

Any luck?

I am in same area and boat as you. I cannot find anyone to let me shadow, unless I am already enrolled in a PA program.

Very frustrating.
