I am new to this site, however for some time, I have been looking into becoming a PA. Could some of you with more experience tell me what all goes into it. I have been trying to find as much information on education requirements and prerequisits, as I can and ever place I find keeps sending me here.

Any information, websites, or words of encouragement will be greatly appreciated.


Thanks!

Hi Tish,

A good place to start is The American Academy of PAs website (www.aapa.org) and the student section of that site (www.saaapa.aapa.org). Also, try www.physicianassistant.net and look around at old posts there. I think that between these 3 sites, you will find many of the answers to the questions you have.
