PA Week: Don’t Sleep on this Career!
MDs have main character energy, but don’t ignore Physician Assistants.
We talk a lot about medical students on this podcast, but at Iowa we also have a physician assistant program, one that’s very well regarded, nationally. So to kick off national PA Week, we’ve got a bunch of PA students to talk about their profession. PA2s Emily Mazzeo and Abby Crow, and PA1s David Walker Hofbauer and Jake Groh talk about what it’s like to study alongside MD students (something unique to Iowa), how they view their place in healthcare, how they knew they wanted to be a PA, and where they see their profession heading in the next few years. Hint: their profession is the 10th fastest-growing career in the US, with an enviable work-life balance, more mobility than MDs, and similar opportunities to specialize or go into primary care.
BTW, you can find out more about the PA career, as well as the MD and biomedical science PhD programs, at our virtual conference next week!
