AJones95 Posted September 14, 2019 Share Posted September 14, 2019 Hello! I will be finishing up a surgical tech/Certified Surgical first Assistant double degree in may 2020. I already have my bachelors in psych with a minor in biology. I plan on applying on applying to PA school next year after graduation. I am wondering will my ST/CSFA degree be really attractive to schools when i go to apply and will the knowledge I gained in this program and working as a CSF for a few months help my with my course work in PA school?????

DomRRTtoPA Posted September 16, 2019 Share Posted September 16, 2019 (edited) Yeah it will help but PA schools are looking for the whole package. I have worked as a respiratory therapist for 15 years and it is evident that there is a large gap in knowledge between providers and all the other healthcare team members including nurses. So although I think your knowledge will help, the courses will most likely still be very challenging. Maybe someone else who had a lot of PCE before PA school can chime in as I am curious as to how they thought the difficulty of PA school was changed by their experiences.
