@ashdermpa: I think both careers are wonderful and you can’t go wrong either way! Definitely pros and cons to each. These are just some of the personal reasons for myself why I chose to apply to pa school and not medical school. #paschool #medicalschool #physicianassistant #physicianassistantstudent #prepa

PAs are lifelong residents, never able to have independence or salary growth

Whew I spot a tonnn of bitter pre-med/med students/residents in this comment section. This video is not about YOU. She said this is why SHE chose PA. Hope this helps 😅

Everything you mentioned, aside from short time to practice, is easily available with MD/DO. None of those are PA-specific. It’s simple- if you want to be the expert, go to med school. If not, PA.

Most PAs chose PA because they have no shot at Med school. and those are the same ones who are constantly trying to justify why they "chose" PA school

The strange “med students” in the comments always crack me up cuz even the surgeons of the world need a PA with their practice. This is a team sport. We all do great work.

It is a shortcut. The name implies an assistant and that’s what it is.

All these physicians sound so bitter that any PA or NP would feel proud of and enjoy their roles in healthcare. lol

I’m an MD and ill recommend to my daughter to go the PA route. It doesn’t dominate your life and steal your 20s like med school and residency

I’m a doctor. I try to talk as many people as possible to go in the PA or NP route.

No residency is an issue. The ER PAs I've seen are terrible. One of them told me I didn't need a rabies shot because they would just treat it if I have symptoms. You mean when I'm dead?!

“Why did I make this TikTok?” To seek validation from strangers online to fuel my unmanaged feelings of feeling inferior in the clinical setting. Just do you boo-boo we all have a role to play, no need to compare

CRNA for me - I get to actually live life in my 20s, make a living wage before CRNA school, AND come out on the other side making absolute bank without having to worry about the abuse of residency MD/DOs have to put up with, and don’t have to worry about not matching into my preferred specialty, OH AND I get to work on a team and have someone at my side helping when I need it? An honest to god job I can go to, do my work, clock out with a nice check and go home? F%$* yeah, I LOVE my career path!

I know some MDs who say if they had knew more about being a PA, they’d have gone that route.

All of the haters in the comments thinking just bc you CHOOSE a career automatically means you couldn’t technically go higher w/ your education makes me laugh. Just bc someone doesn’t want to be a physician means they can’t? I personally switched to pre-PA because I realized I wanted to be a wife & a mother quicker & I wanted to be more present in my children’s life when they’re young! Literally nothing to do w/ the actual schooling/ rigor. Ik a lot of young women like me too!
