After 1.5 years of working at a rural family practice and urgent care, I have felt the pull to go to another rural area for new experiences. Off to Alaska to an area of high need for health care providers. I am excited for a change and to begin a new chapter in my career as a physician assistant. I have enjoyed my time here in Arizona and have grown a lot in developing practical skills and techniques to provide better health care.
I have mentioned many times that one of the greatest things about being a physician assistant is the high demand and endless amount of options for work. Going to Alaska is a small example of these opportunities. This career in the short year and a half has been very rewarding. My life for my family has great outlook and many opportunities.

The steps taken to change careers to become a physician assistant, my coursework in PA school, and my path to obtain a job and ultimately have a successful career. I hope my experiences and struggles will help others.

Primary Care PA-C
It has been 8 months since I moved to Arizona and began working as a PA-C. Looking back on the last few years it is pretty amazing how I arrived at this place. I have had several people call me and email me recently wondering about my experiences and if I am happy with what I am doing.. Would I do it again if I had the chance to start over?.. My answer is an unequivocal Yes.
The job has its ups and downs, frustrations and stresses, good days and bad days; however, it is a great career that I enjoy. I continue to have amazing opportunities and experiences.
If you are considering the idea of becoming a PA, I suggest looking at the e-book I have on scripd and email any and all questions you may have.
