Mordechai Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 I'm starting P.A. school this year and I thought this might be the perfect place to ask for some suggestions as far as elective rotations go. I've got a number of friends currently working as PA's and many of them felt they chose the wrong elective because they hadn't put much thought into it. I'm curious about either interesting fields, or fields that it would be most beneficial to make friends in. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jen0508 Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 i would choose a field you want to work in , preferably a place that is/ will be hirng. Most of my classmates got jobs via a previous rotation (or just a place where they already "knew somebody") Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Philips Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 I guess you mush not seek help from other people in selecting your study subjects, as it could lead to some problems in your studies later on in the period. You mush go for the subjects, in which you can best develop your interests, as you have to read them. And you can do that by having a little overview of the subjects before electing them.

Mordechai Posted January 4, 2013 Author Share Posted January 4, 2013 I don't expect to know what field I want to practice in until I've done rotations in multiples. I just would like some suggestions in order to broaden my perspective. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
