Before applying to PA school, you must be doing your research and noticed alot of school require “direct patient care” hours.
Direct Patient Care is when you’re actually “doing” something on the patient. It could be taking vitals, reminding patient to take medication, assisting in the OR, assisting with ADL’s and many more.
Several jobs can give you this opportunity and it is imperative to begin acquiring the hours before applying to school, so you’ll have them ready.
Suggested job:
