MadisonR0324 Posted February 21, 2020 Share Posted February 21, 2020 Hi everyone, I recently had an interview with a PA school and found that the interviewer seemed to find clinical experience with a MD more valuable than clinical experience with a PA, and yes, this is actual paid hours, not just shadowing. Has anyone else experienced this? I am in total shock since I am applying to PA school rather than Medical school. I may be wrong but I thought that my experience working closely with a PA was a huge plus. How would I know that I wanted to go to PA school without that experience? Working with a PA has provided a huge insight on the role of a PA vs that of an MD. Can anyone else speak to this experience? Have you had similar experiences? Do you agree or disagree with the interviewer? All advice/input is welcome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nichole96 Posted February 22, 2020 Share Posted February 22, 2020 This is an absolutely perfect example of you interviewing the school just as much as they're interviewing you. I wouldn't base your whole decision off one interviewer's opinion, but this would certainly be a red flag in my mind. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
