Zoelani Posted January 20, 2022 Share Posted January 20, 2022 Hi! I am a second year pre-PA student. I am currently working as a PT aide for my patient care experience, and I really love it! The PTs I work with are great and I love the patients. Because of this I've recently considered switching to PT, and would want to do pediatric or neonatal PT. However, I greatly prefer the science of medicine over kinesiology/anatomy, which is primarily what PT focuses on. I have started shadowing a PA and I decided that outpatient is not really for me because I would like more hands-on experience. My ideal PA specialty is neonatal/working in the NICU or OBGYN, but I am not sure how many opportunities for PAs there are in those fields. I really love the medicine that comes with being a PA, but I also love the abundance of patient interaction and guaranteed hands on experience that comes with being a PT. I am just wondering what anyone's perspectives are on my situation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
