 Okay so there are lots of different specialties that you can get into as a PA and that is one of the reasons why I chose this profession because you can easily like have this lateral movement from specialty to specialty especially if you've done something for a while and you're like you know what I've done you know like emergency medicine for five years I'm a little burnt out like I want to get into something different a little bit more exciting or something like that like you have the opportunity to go to like an ortho position or maybe you want to get into family medicine or internal medicine so it's all like there's there's that there's a space for you there and that is one of like the major reasons why I love the PA profession but within those specialties there are some like female male dominance and I had a question asked about being an OBGYN PA and it had a little twist and so I wanted to answer that question for you guys today so let's get into the video right now. What's up you guys it's Adana welcome back to my channel okay so for those of you who don't know me my name is Adana I do PA related video about like my life as a PA okay and so if you have any questions for me I ask you guys to leave them in the comment section below but I also ask you to take a look around if you like what you see go ahead and subscribe and also please hit that like button for the YouTube algorithm okay so I had a question asked by one of my subscribers and it was asked can male PA's work in OBGYN now if you don't know about OBGYN maybe you're not a female or maybe you're just really young but OBGYN stands for obstetrics and gynecology so they deal with all things female like reproductive anatomy right and just kind of all things female eat in general so if you are having like abnormal bleeding or pain in your vaginal cavity or pain while urinating or you know you're having a baby all those various different things you find like a lump in your breast OBGYN's are who you go see and as such there are OBGYN PAs and I would actually like to become one one day working my path to that but you know that that's a field in the PA career as well so this with my this person asked you know let me see let me ask to see their name Chen Chen asked can males become OBGYN PAs now obviously like in theory yes like you know anybody can become an XYZ PA you can and anybody can become a PA if you do the work you need you know you study hard and you do all of the various different things that you need to do you pass the exams you can become a PA and speaking of actually you guys I do have two free pre-PA PA cat Cubanks by Ross review to give away so if you're interested in that and you're like gonna need to take the PA cat very shortly please go ahead and leave a comment and comment section below and don't forget to follow me on Instagram and on the PA and Ross review on Instagram at Ross review so that you can be entered into when I will be announcing the winner of the PA cat Cubank giveaway on Instagram okay usually I do it in my stories but I might make a post as well you guys and put it also on the next upcoming video just so everybody is aware okay so don't forget to do that alright but that being said you want to study and you do all the various different things that you need to do so that you can become a PA and then you have the choice on what specialty you want to go into so yes you the males can be an OBGYN PA however the OBGYN field just in general is now highly it's it's pretty dominated by females there's over like 59% of the field is female physicians that being said obviously they're the large majority of the field in terms of the PA specialty are females now in in general the PA career is highly female dominant however that doesn't mean that there aren't a lot of male PA's coming in to the ranks now I get it I get the question so yes again you can become an OBGYN PA but like for me I feel more comfortable with the female OBGYN now I don't want to dissuade anybody that you know if you have a heart for the OB field if you have a heart for women and you just so happen to be male I don't want to dissuade you and be like oh no you can't be an OBGYN PA because that's not the case but I just want to like for one you and help you understand that yes you know you can become an OBGYN PA but there may be some hurdles that you may have to pass and just as long as you're prepared for that and ready for that and ready to also comply when somebody might say you know what I don't want to see you I would feel more comfortable seeing a female PA then you should be fine there I had like two OB rotations when I was a student and I saw no OB male PA's however with that being said every PA student that goes through PA school has to have an OBGYN like a women's health rotation so you do get that experience you do get that knowledge and it's get you get you know to see if this is something that you really want to be in and really want to do and if it is then you build those bridges you make those connections if your school allows you to find your own rotation sites maybe look for male OBGYNs and ask them if they're willing to allow students to come in and do rotations because then that way at least you know that you have kind of like a base foundation you already have that base there but there's gonna be some legwork that you're gonna have to do yourself because the majority of people I would say majority of females are a little bit more comfortable with female physicians being their OBGYNs as opposed to males but again that does not mean that it cannot be done okay keep all the various different things that you have to be mindful of when dealing with patients that may not be comfortable with you and then just keep it moving all right thank you so much for that question I think that it's a legit question and guys if you have any other questions about other specialties drop those in the comment
