I mean four years is nothing? And then MDs earn $350k-$400k after residency, and during residency they can make $90k/yr. Lol. Only do PA if you want to have kids soon or something, but MD is wayyyyyyyy more worth it.

Physician Assistant.. not Physician’s assistant… We assist patient population coverage, we’re not a belonging.

Let's stop comparing such different fields. Tell me how that looks at age 40, 50, etc. Go to PA school if it fits your lifestyle and your current circumstances go to medical school if the same applies.

user9274805840446 :
Pros and cons. Physician assistance in several specialties work in a similar capacity. Totally support this move. However, when talking dollars, most physicians make at least $350,000 per year, and debt or no debt, this accumulates fairly quickly. Again, I agree that pursuing a carrier as a physician associate is the way to go, but if strictly comparing income, there is not really much of a comparison.

1st year as a doctor. Earn $250k a year. See 30 patients a day, 33 years old, had no life in my 20’s, and $500k in debt. Don’t become a dr. Should have been a pa. Would have made money at 25 and started to invest at 25 instead of 33.

The surgeon I worked for told me the same thing, I’ll break even before a doctor does. And have a nicer work life balance.

I work at a PA program and our students are crazy smart, dedicated and eager to learn! It’s a big price to pay for two years, but the ROI is fantastic! You can work anywhere, and in any specialty!

Debt free if you live with your parents. Tuition and living changed a lot last 5 years. Assuming undergrad was payed off before school as well.
