Babael Posted July 22, 2011 Share Posted July 22, 2011 Hello, I am a pre-health student. I'm currently a freshman in college and working towards my BS in Biomedical Engineering. I'm still undecided the direction I want to take my career, so I'm exploring a few options. The only thing I'm sure about is that I want to practice medicine and I want to work with under-served communities. I am interested in learning more about PAs and DOs(nothing against MDs but I'm interested in OMM). I currently work as a patient cook in a hospital and have talked to a few PA there. I have done a bit of reading and would like to have a chance to shadow a PA, to decide if this is really something I want to pursue. I am located in Los Angeles, California and I'm very willing to travel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vegetofu Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 Hello Everyone, Try USC La County PA Helper Program http://keck.usc.edu/en/Education/Academic_Department_and_Divisions/Department_of_Preventive_Medicine/Divisions/Health_Behavior_Research/Education_and_Training/BS_Health_Promotion_and_Disease_Prevention/Opportunities.aspx CLinical Care Extender Program By volunteering in hospitals, you will meet PAs/doctors, introduce yourself, show interest let nurses know maybe they can put in good word for you since they work with medical providers everyday. Be courteous & polite, go beyond in your volunteer duties. I got the opportunity to shadow a PA when I volunteered in the OR, I couldn't find a PA through the phonebook/websites. Plus, some programs allow you to shadow physicians as well. Ask your parents/your own doctor if they can help. Good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JLaur122 Posted October 3, 2012 Share Posted October 3, 2012 I find acquiring shadowing hours to be one of the most difficult requirements in this whole process. I know it's an inconvenience for the practicing PA, but everyone had to do it sometime. I have a few bones out there in Harrisburg PA, if anyone knows a PA in a private practice setting or hospital, let me know. I'm doing a lot of chasing my tail. I promise I will let students shadow me! IT's a frustrating process. GL everyone! :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mvverde Posted November 2, 2012 Share Posted November 2, 2012 Hello All, I am currently in the process of applying to a physicians assistant program that needs a minimum of 300 hours of job shadowing. I currently reside in Wake Forest, NC. If anyone is willing to allow me to shadow them or knows of anyone please e-mail me at mariiaverdee@aim.com. Hope everyone enjoys their weekend! :=D: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rajanichandrap Posted November 20, 2012 Share Posted November 20, 2012 I am looking for P.A shadowing opportunities in Los angeles/Orange/Riverside area. I sent PM to the available PA's in Pashadowonline.com. It seems kind of tough to get any especially with the amount of pre-PA's and also because of the stringent HIPPA regulations. Any other ideas will be greatly appreciated? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
