Anybody went to either one of these schools for PA school? Is either one better than the other?

Members don't see this ad.
 
Go to the cheaper school. I know a duke grad >$200,000 in debt. That grad is miserable, because he/she is taking home less than the surgical tech working next to them.... And it's going to be a long time until that changes for that person. The other thing is that the duke grad works for a foreign trained physician who could care less that
the PA went to duke.... because at the end of the day, PA school is just PA school to him. Don't buy into the hype if it costs actual money to do so.

And just to clarify, the surg tech doesn't get paid as much as the PA, but doesn't have any debt and is taxed much lower.
 
AGREE WITH ABOVE.
ps, saw your avatar. this is a fx/dislocation I reduced over the weekend.

Ugh.... The things I see when I work in ER that are the worst for me seem to involve ortho fractures. You walk in the room and it's like your primitive brain senses something just isn't right before your evolved part computes that you are looking at a leg broken in 4 places. Or that the hole in the meth addict's shin is 2 inches deep from the hammer his friend hit it with.
