I am thinking about being a physician assistant.?

[catherinev]

I DONT have a bachelor degree but I do have 2 years?
of medical school under my belt. Well I am thinking of going the other route. What is the path of a physician assistant? And would my medical basic sciences be considered towards a PA degree? Also, anyone know any schools in the upper hudson valley of NY? There is one in Albany but that is over an hour away and some are in brooklyn, queens, long island....same distance. And please no one write back that I should just stick to becoming an MD because if thats what I wanted to do, I wouldnt be writing this

Check with the state, some will transfer credits regardless, some will only transfer from certain schools. A mess needless to say. Check with a vo-tech they have PA classes, at least here.

Most would probably accept your course work. But you need the bachelors. How did you get 2 years of med school without a bachelors?

I was in Bronx Community College to become a PA. Then my girlfriend got my mysteriously pregnant and I had to drop out. It is a very good field to go into. Lotsa $ but don't fool yourself it's a lot of work too.
