Are paramedics well equipped to go to PA school?

Practical EMS

Wrapping up our conversation with Brian and Kristina (PA’s and prior paramedics) and Casey (paramedic)

Shadow PAs in different specialties so you really know what the career looks like practically.

Use this to find out what specialties you like, school doesn’t always give you enough time and you may not get a job in your desired specialty every time.

You must know WHY you want to be a PA. Have a very clear understanding.

Don’t be completely set on working in the ER as a new PA. There are a lot of other valuable specialties to gain experience in before going to the ER.

Paramedics are well equipped with knowledge and experience for PA school. There is a lot more to learn but, in many ways, paramedics are one of the best careers to transition to PA from.

Most of medicine does not understand the high level of training that paramedics receive.

If you are an EMT planning on PA school, learn from your paramedics.

In EMS, learn from those with experience regardless of their provider level.
