I decided to become a physician assistant instead of a medical doctor for many reasons. In this video, I explain my thought process and the factors that led to my decision.
If you’re trying to decide between becoming a PA or an MD, this video is for you. I go over some of the similarities and differences between the two roles,

About me:
I’m Michele Neskey, aka The Posh PA. Welcome to my channel! My mission is to provide personalized guidance, education, and motivation to build confidence and promote wellness for aspiring physician assistants and beyond.
Having been a PA for 17+ years and helped hundreds of students gain acceptance into PA school, I understand the admissions process. I know what they are looking for, and I can help you tailor every component to make you shine, giving you the BEST chance of getting accepted to a program. But it doesn't end there. I create personalized plans for PA students and practicing PAs including test-taking strategy for the PANCE, contract negotiations, and tools to overcome and prevent provider burnout.
My goal is to get you into a physician assistant (PA) school & survive the rigorous program, help you prevent burnout as a practicing PA, and help you take care of yourself so you can be the best version of YOU for your patients, family, and most importantly YOU!

I thought I wanted to be a MD, I feel like PA is the better fit for me because it gives me the best of it all and allows me to pivot. Now I just have to make it through school lol

Do Medicine. I feel like you kind of know that you want to. Don't settle or make excuses because you're too scared to face Medical School and the possibility of failure during the application stage. I know things like the MCAT/USMLE seem impossible but you'll only have regrets if you don't try. It's senseless to pivot between specialities if you are essentially incompetent in all rather than a specialist in one. Do you really just want to be taught the very basics? Just enough to manage the most common of illnesses and will have to run off to your supervising physician once you encounter something you can't simply google? There is a reason residency takes between 3-8 years. Find a speciality you absolutely adore and become a master in it! It fills you with a unique sense of pride and honour when fellow doctors and patients require your specialist knowledge. Never settle. Work hard and become the absolute best you can be.

@sperg1 I’m sure somewhere in there was supposed to be a compliment or motivation but it was none of those things. I’m neither afraid nor settling that’s a gross assumption on your part. There is Valor and pride in being a PA. Your comments read like you’re looking at it from the “Jack of all trades” perspective so let me lend a little more perspective to this. The full phrase is “a jack of all trades is a master of none, but oftentimes better than a master of one. Have a great day

@@whatsyourwhycoaching6758love it !! As a patient I connect more with the PAs than the doctors. The doctors come in speak in a language only other doctors can understand and you can see that they are impatient because they have other patients to go see. I had a doctor literally tell me “I only want yes or no answers “ he didn’t even want me to explain anything. But the PAs always came in bubbly super friendly and patient and won’t leave until I understand. To me it’s about patient care so I would go with the profession that cares for the patient the most . I wish you the best on your journey love !!
