Hi Everyone!
So of course it is that time of the year again, school time-- Yay!! For everyone who doesn't know, I am wanting to pursue a Physician Assistant (Masters Degree in PA) and this upcoming semester, tentatively I am thinking of taking 17 hours - A lot I know-- here is a list of my classes- has anyone taken any of them? My ideal thing is to have a broad range of stuff- PA School requires a Bachelor degree, so I am thinking a Major in Criminal Justice with a Minor in Psychology......... (Opening doors for social work, prison medical care, etc...) combining Criminal Justice,Medicine, and Social Work. I have toyed with Vet Medicine, but think I want to stick to people medicine. I love helping people, social work and criminal justice are my passions and even a bigger passion is the medical field- I love it! (Have wanted to work in medicine since I was a kid)- and I guess my Ultimate 'Dream Job' would be a Physician Assistant in a Juvenille Detention Center.........
General Biology 2
General Biology 2 Lab
General Psychology
Math
The ones I am undecided on are
Pharmacology for Health Profesionals
Pathophysiology of Disease & Injury
I know the above 2 would be helpful for the PA school or any medical field, and they do get me credits- just are not part of my degree plan (University Transfer)
So my dillema is- Instead of taking the Pharmacology and Pathophysiology, I can knock out 2 of my Criminal Justice classes, or one of them and keep the Pharmacology (I want to work as a Pharmacy Tech while going to school....)
Just brainstorming, so I am open to any and all suggestions!!
