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
 
pa forum link above is a good idea.
to answer your question, I was an er tech 26 hrs/week during college, 60 hrs/week during summer breaks. after graduation I went right to paramedic school and worked as a medic for 5 years before becoming a pa.
