I'm trying to go to PA school and as most of you know this requires some observation hours. Finding someone to shadow isn't easy because of whatever reason but I went on this website (pashadowonline.com) that lists PAs that would maybe be available for shadowing.
So I emailed different PAs in NY (my region) last week and one got back to me today. He called me and explained that he would write me a LOR bla bla. Anyways after all he said all these amazing things he mentioned that it would cost me $600!!!!
I've never heard of anyone paying to shadow. That's like paying for an internship. I tried googling it to see if it's legal or if anyone has been through something similar and I've seen no posts of anything of the kind.
Is this legal? Should I go for it? I mean as a PA that's been working for a few years he should be making over 6 figs. It makes me mad that he'd charge his shadowers that much money.
Advice?
