[quote=Anonymous]What is your background, OP? If not something medical/healthcare, you’ll need at least two years getting direct patient experience (most common routes are EMT, CNA, scribe, phlebotomist...) to be a competitive applicant. If you’ve been out of college for 10+ years and/or haven’t taken the science prerequisites, you’ll need to spend at least a year taking classes biology, chemistry, microbiology, and psychology (including lab components). Are you willing to commit to that? If you don’t have the science/healthcare background, you’re looking at a minimum of two years before you’d even be able to apply. I get the sense that you don’t really understand what it takes to become a physician’s assistant. This is not just something you wake up in the morning and decide to do.[/quote]
