Unless her additional degree aspiration was a PhD and her desired position was to be a PA Program Professor or Director. Though 5 years experience would be extremely young to teach/definitely too young to PD and a PhD certainly isn't /required/ to teach (experience and quality of experience is important too). I guess my point is folks, let's not assume her desired additional degree was necessarily an MD. PAcoach probably knows/I'm sure the team asked her or she voluntarily specified. Great video
@pleex. That is NOT the truth. PAs are proud of who they are. It takes hard work and dedication to get in and graduate from PA school. I have been a PA for 12 years and actually I turned down Medical school to go to PA school. PA is not a "stepping stone" degree. Thanks for your comment.
how so? if u have any other degree (even PA or nursing) and if you want to become a doctor you still have to go back and start from zero. It doesn't really matter whether if you are already a paramedic, nurse or PA. You still have to go to med school all the years required for your specialty.
Thank you great great advice...

the truth is that a lot of students that go into nursing or PA school use their degree as a stepping stone into med school
