PHYSICIAN ASSISTANT CLINICAL HOURS

[pre-unsure]

I'm a sophomore in college & would love to pursue being a physician assistant.

If you are a PA/know one how did you get your clinical hours?

I'm currently a certified nursing assistant, but I honestly don't know if I'm fit to work in the long-term care facilities

Thanks
