Speed-Running a Bachelor’s at 18 to Prep for a MS in PAs

[Jonathan Whatley]

IMO MA certs are a waste of time, they are glorified secretaries that take vital signs and do blood draws.

It could be worth it if it gets the OP in with one or more physicians or PAs who allow wider opportunities than the typical MA position. Like shadowing, scribing, and of course recommendation letters. And maybe if it corresponds to a type of practice setting the OP is interested in working in and they want to sell that interest in their statement backed by some experience.
