 By all means, go and do yourself in PA school, have a great time, and come out making, you know, $100,000 a year and then live in your best life in your 20s. I think that that is a great option.

So I haven't done one of these in a long time for you guys, but I found this question. It was left on my YouTube, like one of my videos that I did. And I thought it was an interesting question. I liked it. I was like, all right, well, let me answer it. So here it goes. Hi, Adana. I know this is late, but I am currently a junior in high school looking for programs. And I stumbled across a bridge program for PAs. I was wondering what are your opinions on these type of programs? Would it be worth applying to or should I go a traditional route and have to apply to PAs schools later on? That is the question. And I think it's a great question because it's like, well, do you want to go to PAs schools straight out of high school? And I mean, had I known about PAs schools straight out of high school, sign me the freak up, sign me the freak up, sign me the freak up. Yes, I would absolutely do that. Look, if you have the opportunity to actually apply to a bridge program and get in, then absolutely do it because that's just going to be a benefit to you in your life. I mean, yes, you're going straight to high school. You're 18, you know, from 18, usually they're about five to 60 years. So you're from 18 to 23, you're in school and you're going to be doing that anyways if you go to a four year college and then try to go to school two years after that. So by all means, go and do yourself in PAs school, have a great time and come out making, you know, $100,000 a year and then live in your best life in your 20s. I think that that is a great option. I definitely would have done it had I known about the PA profession and all of the wonderful things that it has to offer when I was trying to figure out, you know, what I was going to do with my life in high school. But I think bridge programs are great. I think maybe the only negative is that you are young and you're going into literally like a career. So you're going to be doing your bachelor's and your master's at the same time. But I feel like most people who want to get into healthcare field are already pretty dedicated and motivated. So I don't think it's going to take anything away from what you already have planned for your life. So definitely if that is something that you can do, do it. I think bridge programs are great. There are over 30 bridge programs currently and I'm sure that there are more developing. So you just have to go to PA, EA online, their website, that's the education, you know, body of the PA profession. And they will point you, like in their directory, you can just type in, you know, like dual degree or direct entry or something like that and you'll be able to see or it offers a bachelor's and you'll be able to see the schools that offer both bachelor's and master's degree. And then you can also go to thepa-life.com. That website is great. It helped me out a great deal when I was looking at different PA programs and PA schools, answering questions that we typically have as pre-PAs. So and he has on his website just a list of the PA programs that are dual entry and then that are also like dual degrees. So a master's in public health and a master's in PA medicine. So that will be a great help for you all too. I hope this answers your question. I mean, again, it's just my opinion, which is what you asked for and so I'm giving it to you. But yes, I would definitely do it. I don't really see any negatives in it at all, honestly. I just kind of had to like find one for you. But I would absolutely do that because that is like, you're there. You're a PA and you're 23. How cool is that? So if you have any other questions or any other things that you want me to answer on a future PA Q&A, go ahead and leave that in the comment section below.
