I've been interested in the PA program, however it requires 500 hours of "direct healthcare experience". I have the necessary pre-requisites finished for it. But, does working in a pharmacy qualify as "direct healthcare experience", or do they want you to work in a doctor's office.
Whenever I go to the hospital to ask, all positions seem to be unpaid, and are the type of positions where you basically just clean up after the patients, instead of observing surgeries, shadowing other PAs, etc.
