For a Physician's Assistant would having a biology degree allow you to have the best chance of getting into PA school and get you prepared for that career or would a degree in something more healthcare centered be more ideal?
I am a senior in high school and I will be going to college next year on a basketball scholarship. I have been guided towards the biology route because counselors have told me that would help me get into PA school.

Is there a personality difference between PA's and DNP's and if so, should I consider this when making a career choice?
I understand that PA's tend to be task oriented, check it off the list, get it done and move on type of personalities vs nurses who might have a similar job description, but tend to be more compassionate and nurturing. I definitely tend to lean towards the PA type but my college of choice does not have a PA school. Therefore, should I consider nursing school instead? #nursing #physician #hospital-and-health-care #hospital #medicine #college

Nursing Track Vs. Pre-med and physician assistant ? What's the different role?
Hi, I am a senior in high school. I am interested in being a doctor particularly a family doctor because I want to work with all ages and both sexes. I was taking family medicine or emergency medicine. However, I always thought of doctors don't have direct- contact with patients like a nurse does. I know that being a doctor takes a long time. I really want the title as a doctor. Like is it worth it ? Because I know I'll probably be in debt after I finish med- school and residency.Then I started being in interested in to become a nurse practitioner or a physician assistant. I like nursing because it is more direct patient contact and then I was interested in being a physician assistant because it is sort of similar to a doctor but they work under supervision of a doctor. Do physician assistants work independently ? Do nursing have similar classes like pre-med or P.A track? I want to know because I'm just confuse and need to know which career would fit me best. I just know that I want to help and cure people. #doctor #medicine #healthcare #pre-med #physician #nurse-practitioner #assistant

How can I create Sandow's dream world as a physician?
Dear Physicians and Health Fanatics: I am currently a high school junior with big dreams but little to no influence on society at the moment. After years of Cross Country running, amateur competitive boxing, and staying fit and healthy in general, I have come to espouse health & fitness as a lifestyle. Currently, most of what I do now is strength training and bodybuilding, all of which have taught me a lot about myself which I try to spread through a health & fitness club I started at my high school. A champion bodybuilder of his time and a professional in disease control, Eugen Sandow, wrote a book called Life is Movement over a hundred years ago in order to voice his thoughts on the increasing maladies in our world. Sandow makes connections such as how if the government and youth were more well-informed in what made someone a truly healthy being which includes knowing which foods should be eaten and how to exercise properly then everyone would be strong enough holistically to prevent disease without the dependence on medicine. I have dreams of becoming a physician since I love helping people out and knowing more about the human body. Would I have enough power as a physician to influence the world in the way I want? How can I go about this large goal when I am a physician? What will support me? Thanks, Alexander N. #doctor #science #biology #health #physician

difference between an Obstetrician, Midwife and Physician assistant
I'm 17 and going to be a senior this year, I'm really worried because I have not decided what career I want to pursue. I would love to be around pregnant people and work in a hospital. But I don't want to spend my whole life in the hospital working because I want a family and want to be there, but also do what I love. I know it takes alot to do all threee careers. but I also know being a PA you don't have to work long hours and be on call when your at home. What is better for if you have a family? if you are a PA can you work in the birthing centers #physician #babies #obstetrician #assistant #mid-wife #pageant
