Hey guys. I'm looking into the healthcare profession, and have narrowed it down to either a PA or MD/DO. I'm leaning towards the PA since there is less schooling involved, and you still get to perform some of what a MD would perform. Of course, the MD gets paid more, but I'm fine with the salary of a PA. I just have three questions about the two:
1. What is more competitive to get into; a PA program, or MD program?
2. Do you have to have prior experience such as EMT, RN, etc. to go to PA school, or can you apply to PA school right out of undergrad?
3. What is daily life like for a PA vs. a MD?
