Hi, my name is Stacie Royer and I'm a career specialist in Austin, Texas. I'm going to
talk to you today about becoming a physician's assistant. The first thing that you'll need
to do is know that you love working with people. Then, you'll need to obtain your bachelors
degree from an accredited university. You can obtain that degree in any type of field
but it's preferred to have a degree in biology or premed. From that point you'll need to
submit your application to the American Academy of Physician's Assistants Program. Once you've
become excepted there then you'll need to fulfill the two to three year requirement
at an accredited ARCPA establishment or organization. Remember, all physician's assistants will
have to continue their medical education. That is done typically on a year or two year
basis. From that point you can start working for a doctor and have a lot of fun with it.
