a1chance Posted June 24, 2013 Share Posted June 24, 2013 Can anyone tell me if working as a dental hygienist for 10yrs qualifies as true hands on experience for PA apps? thanks in advance! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TarheelGirlx3 Posted June 24, 2013 Share Posted June 24, 2013 I think it will depend on the school. I have seen some schools that do not accept any dental work, but some probably do. Just look at individual schools, and if it is not mentioned anywhere email someone! Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
a1chance Posted June 24, 2013 Author Share Posted June 24, 2013 Thanks tarheelgirlx3..... I appreciate your reply. Im hoping to balance my app with both a BS degree and a masters in Public health...because im currently in the thick of my application I wonder if direct PA shadowing would help or not? I'm felling crunched. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TarheelGirlx3 Posted June 24, 2013 Share Posted June 24, 2013 I think PA shadowing would be beneficial..since I highly doubt you have been around PAs as a dental hygienist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
