Hey guys. I'm new to this forum so I have no idea if I'm posting this correctly. For those of you who have already gone through or are going through PA school applications I have a dilemma...
I recently got an offer as an MA for let's say a very prestigious ivy league hospital. The position is for cardiology where I'll be doing half paperwork stuff and the other half diagnosing, holter monitors, etc. Honestly I don't fully know what I'll be doing but I get the feeling that this isn't much direct hands on experience. The doctor however is the best in his field and went to John Hopkins and Harvard and gives very good recommendations. He's had several other hires get into PA school.
Now skip to job offer number 2 and its for an orthopedic surgeon who also does primary care work. I'll get tons of experience basically short of performing surgery myself but the doctor is a no name guy at a no name clinic. I will however do everything including injections, blood draws, diagnosing, surgical assistance, etc.
Which one will get me into PA school?
