Joseph’s Answer

Hello,

I see that your end goal is to pursue a career as a PA. I would highly suggest you pursue a pre-medical career path as kinesiology will not fulfill the prerequisites for the PA program entrance.

I have worked in healthcare for 12+ years as a Physical Therapist Assistant with 2 degrees. I work along side Physical Therapist, Physicians, PAs, NP’s , Nurses and so on.

I would highly suggest encourage you to look into prerequisites for PA programs before getting to far into a Kinesiology degree to find out it won’t help you go straight into a PA program.

Best of luck
