Transcribing the dictation of various physician assistants made me wonder what was involved in becoming a PA, so I looked into the PA programs in my state. I have a BA and already have all the science prereqs, so I decided to apply. I'm retiring from my full-time job (not medical related) in April and wondered what I would do with myself with just my part-time MT job to keep me busy. Now I know. I start in the PA program with the summer session.
If you have a four-year degree and want to do something other than MT, why not look into becoming a PA and work on the other side of the microphone? I can't wait to get started. I was sort of dreading retirement, but now I'm excited about the next phase of my life.
