Nina79 Posted July 20, 2023 Share Posted July 20, 2023 Can someone tell me if I have a ton of patient care hours working as a medical assistant, do I still need shadow hours? Seems silly since I already work with PA's and physicians. Who would I shadow if I already am a paid employee? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderator EMEDPA Posted July 20, 2023 Moderator Share Posted July 20, 2023 It is silly, but many programs require it. Find out how many hours the programs you are interested require and get the hours. It is just another hoop to hop through, like the GRE.

OKPAb19 Posted July 21, 2023 Share Posted July 21, 2023 Yes you should, I agree that it is kind of silly lol. I work closely with multiple PAs at my PCE job but still went and gained 90 shadowing hours with different PAs in different fields. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
