On this episode hosted by Anna-Lisa and Isha, listeners can learn about the physician assistant (PA) career and its impact on the Canadian health care system. The PA career is highly regarded and competitive in the United States, but only has 3-4 schools in Canada...what gives?
Joined by Toni Luongo, a first-year PA student at McMaster University, we learn about the ins and outs of being in this new field. We talk about uncertainty, mental health in a professional program, and job security.
If you're interested in pursuing a career in healthcare, this is a great career to look into!
NOTE: U of T's PA school graduates obtain a BSc, McMaster graduates obtain a BHScPA, and Manitoba graduates obtain a Masters degree. All are equally eligible to write the PA certification exam.
