Our profession is particularly unique because not only do prospective students need to explore the role of the physician assistant, we also need to make sure that we are acquainted with the roles of other professions as well, particularly the physician and the nurse practitioner. First of all, would you enter a profession without having any idea what the daily ins and outs were? What if you were exposed to a profession but then realized that you did not enjoy that job’s role?Īdditionally, the PA profession is unique in that physician assistants work in a vast variety of specialties and roles vary greatly.įor example, if a student shadowed me in family practice versus my occasional urgent care shift, their experience would be entirely different!
