再谈医师助理（physician assistant）

GuessyUID: 2184792

我不在美国 所以不敢确定地说 但我印象中 PA OT PT 都是读出来就可以工作的 比较类似
申请门槛有差别 但貌似也不大
而且PT也要很多prereq
你现在的问题大概是要看一下哪些学校的哪些项目接受中国的的课程作为pre-req而且不要求在美国读书经验

这里的学校对prerequisite course 要求的是如果是4分制，2.75分最低分
现在关键是没钱啊，哎~！

那是mini，外国人想申上就得冲4.0的目标pre GPA弄。
都有钱读PA，怎会没钱学先修课，PA的学费和医学院一样贵得离谱。
而且你老公如果在本州工作一年以上，作为配偶也许你能打点折，但是也有限。

re楼上
楼主最好看清楚录取要求
可能minimum并不高 但建议楼主看清楚几个问题 到底哪些是evaluation里的
1. 有的学校算pre-req平均分 而且在evaluation里占一些比例
2. 有的学校算overall平均分
3. 有的学校算最后30或者60个学分 那你最后上的几门课就很重要
如果有1和3 那你最后补的这几门prereq的成绩就非常重要了 而且pre-req一般都是有一定难度的课 想拿到A+没有那么容易
如果学校只看2 那你大概也不想把pre-req考得太低以至于拖累你的overall

出国前就在憧憬这个专业，去年8月份来美，现刚考完GRE，发现有些学校的PA不需要托福成绩，预备开始申请，但是很多要求，和需要的推荐信之类的 不是很明白，有没有相关经营人员呢?

PA和MD类似 对本科专业没有要求
但需要你上过某些预修课程 没上过这些课就不能申
如果上过这些课 理论上讲就可以申了 但PA对GPA要求也很严格 貌似也应该有面试之类的 没有绿卡或者不在美国本地应该挺麻烦
不太确定美国的PA要不要考MCAT

18# Guessy 这是我在太傻上看到一篇相关帖子的回答：PA，PT等等临床类专业的申请是非常欢迎有相关临床经验的人申的，虽然有的学校没有说“required”而是用了“recommended ”来说明对于申请者临床经验的要求，但是你要知道，有这种临床医学类的学校可不会像什么MBA一样有好的，也有纯粹圈钱的。能有这些个专业的医学院，是本着宁缺毋滥（其实根本就不缺，上赶着想学医的有钱美国人海了去了）的原则来招收学生的。

所以说你如果没有临床经验，欢迎你申请，反正是贡献申请费，能不能申的上就看你能不能拼的过其他有N年临床经验的人了。不会有什么学校说自己不需要临床经验，于是你申了就让你上的。
那么也就是说P.A的申请仅限读临床出身的本科生了？

GuessyUID: 2184792

我真的不知道那帖子是谁写的 但我知道的PA根本不需要临床经验
这根本就是矛盾的嘛 在美国 医学生是MD PA是MD的助理 怎么可能要求申PA的学生必须得有MD经验呢 MD根本就比PA高不知道多少个档次啊。。。
申PA要的是clinical experience 比如在医院做义工 照顾病人之类的 目的是让申请的学生对医疗机构的氛围有个初步的理解 仅此而已

GuessyUID: 2184792

不过PA难申请是真的 中国的本科生想直接申到美国的PA 个人认为概率极低

24# Guessy 先谢谢啦 在前一个帖子关于临床经验的观点上 我感觉我跟你想法是一样的请问你现在是在读什么专业呢？  另外 这是我在Weill Cornel Medical College 的 P.A requirement:

Prerequisite Coursework: The minimum science requirements include: 2 (two) semesters of Biology (with lab); 2 (two) semesters of Chemistry (with lab), and 1 (one) semester of Microbiology. An English Composition (or college-level equivalent- rhetoric or college writing course) is also a prerequisite.

Other Coursework: Study in advanced science courses (e.g. Anatomy, Physiology, Histology, etc.) and Introductory Statistics are strongly recommended.

Graduate Record Examination: All applicants are required to take the General GRE Aptitude Test (Quantitative, Verbal and Analytical).

Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL): All applicants whose native language is not English are required to take the TOEFL examination.

Grade Point Average: : There is no minimum GPA required for admission to the PA Program. However, the currently enrolled class has an average overall GPA of 3.6 and average science GPA of 3.5.

Health Care Experience: Candidates are required to have significant health care experience; however, applicants are not required to have a minimum number of hours experience. Direct patient contact experience is preferred. Shadowing of a Physician Assistant or Physician is encouraged.

我在读一个不相干的专业 也不在美国
你把这个要求复制下来是想问什么呢

Health Care Experience: Candidates are required to have significant health care experience; however, applicants are not required to have a minimum number of hours experience. Direct patient contact experience is preferred. Shadowing of a Physician Assistant or Physician is encouraged.

Health care experience is not hands-on clinical experience.
It can be volunteer, shadow(observer), externship, and other health care experiences.
I think volunteer is minimum, observer is much better, and hands-on clinical experience with strong LOR is the most preferable.
but for PA applicants, it is almost impossible to have pysician level hands on clinical experience. However, applicants can have hands on experiences as  emerigency assistant, RN, LPN or other kinds of healt care experiences. For US prople, these is not that hard to get. But for international applicants without green card, as we are not allowed to work, these experiences are a lot more difficult to get. But still not impossible.
At least observership is quite possible. Most big hospitals accept shadow for 1 or 2 days at least.

But these are still impossible for Chinese students who are still in China.

28# Guessy Shadowing of a Physician Assistant or Physician ，observer具体说过来是什么意思呢？  我觉得挺矛盾的 那个医院敢给一个非医学专业的学生提供这样的条件啊 但是貌似在国内学临床的 或者RN更占起手啊

henceforceUID: 3002862

27# H1BMatch2012 Thanks,R U UNDER P.A MASTER PROGRAM?
I Think there must be some differences between "requirement" and "recommend".And it is still controversial that non-medical student have chance to do such observer works.And i don't know if my opinion is plausiable that RN and medical undergraduate student in china have more chance in apply P.A because they have much hospital experience.
