How do I pursue a career as a pediatric physician assistant?

I am a senior at my high school, I have a GPA of 3.9 and I am involved in art club and my local church.

If I have a degree in Kinesiology, can I still go into the Pediatric Ultrasound field??

In addition to my professional goal of becoming a nurse, I hope to give back through volunteer work as my finances allow. I plan to volunteer either on the Navajo Nation, where some of my extended family lives, or with Mercy Ships. hashtag #Fall25

If you could go back and talk to yourself on your first day of medical school, what is the one piece of advice that would’ve changed the way you approached your training?
