Hello all, I'm a 20 year female sophomore majoring in Biology. I entered college thinking I was going to medical school, but recently... my dreams may have changed. I'm now thinking PA school. Right now, my career GPA is a 2.98. The reason why it's so low? A D in calculus 1 and a C in calculus 2. I got B's in Biology and a B in Chemistry 1. Right now I'm in Chemistry 2. Anyways, my main question is here about the required direct patient care for the majority of PA schools. Currently, I have ZERO hours for patient care. I have no training for EMT, CNA, home health aide etc. My only idea is volunteering at my local hospice. Do you think this is a good idea? Does anyone have any other suggestions? And, like I said, I'm a sophomore and won't start my volunteering until May. Then I will only be volunteering May-August, Mid December-Mid January and a week in March (spring break). This isn't going to get me the 1,000 that some schools say is the bare minimum.
Help??
