ccaras1 Posted November 18, 2012 Share Posted November 18, 2012 Hi, I am a Paramedic working overseas. I would like to become a pa by going to school online and flying home for clinicals. Is there any schools in the Virginia or Pittsburg area that offer this? Thanks, Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mackjacks Posted November 18, 2012 Share Posted November 18, 2012 The only schools I know of that offer anything online are University of North Dakota and one in Wisconsin which is only part online and I believe requires going to their campus a few times each semester. Also, I think that both have a focus on selecting and training students who will work in the rural areas surrounding those schools, which is why they offer the online-they want the students to be able to stay in the communities where they will work.

sartort Posted November 19, 2012 Share Posted November 19, 2012 If you're planning to work while in PA school, you should know that full-time programs strongly discourage working during their programs. It would be better to take out student loans than risk being overworked and not pass exams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
