I am currently a high school student and i am interested in becoming a physician assistant. I've done some researching on how, and what i understand is you need 4 years at college, 2 years getting a master's and another 2-3 years at a pa program? or does the pa program actually give you a master's degree?
Also, how would gaining healthcare experience go into that 6 year plan? All i know is that nurses, medical assistants, etc are appropriate for healthcare experience, but these positions require certifications and additional schooling in order to practice....would there be a way to gain healthcare experience while i'm still in college?
