 What's up you guys? So many of you have asked about my consulting sessions. They are going to be back starting this Friday right now. As you can see I am studying for my finals. This is finals week so I will be studying and in blackout mode all week but on Friday I'll be finished and I'll be starting my consulting sessions again. They'll go for a week, they'll be live consulting sessions with me so you can just go ahead and head on to the description box below for more details or go to my website at adanathepa.com. All right can't wait to talk to you. Hi. What's up you guys? This is Adana. I am back with another PA Q&A video for you guys. I have a couple questions that I'm going to be answering for you all today. If you have any questions that you would like answered on a future video please go ahead right now and leave those in the comment section below and if you haven't already done so go ahead and subscribe. Can PACs work in dentistry? So no PAs cannot work in dentistry. The dentist feel doesn't really have a mid-level, oh how I hate that word you guys, but whatever, a mid-level practitioner like a PA or an NP it's really like the dentist and then the dental hygienist and then the techs. Therefore there's not really like a bridge or anything like that. You don't really see PAs in dentistry. I don't know if that's something that will happen in the future because we don't really get that much training with that. Maybe there might be something in the future kind of like how we're going into ophthalmology but we're usually like doing fundoscopic exams here and there in our HENT. So I'm not really sure if that's even a possibility in the future but maybe the organization of dentists, I don't even know what it's called, but whoever the dentists are under maybe that might be something that they might be looking into in the future if that is the route that you would like to go. Can PAs deliver babies? No so PAs cannot necessarily deliver babies yet however that's like a yes and no question because well answer because it's kind of specific to the practice. I know that there are some practices where PAs do deliver and there are some places where they don't like of course like emergency delivery so in the ER and things of that there are PAs that do that but there was this new thing that came out in our journal the JAPA which is our journal for PAs and it was talking about the PA laborist so that is essentially like you know kind of like what midwives do in a sense and it's something that is new and up and coming so maybe in the future that may be a route or a specialty that PAs can go into where they are laborist and they're allowed to actually deliver babies but generally speaking no PAs don't usually deliver babies. Can PAs specialize in integrative slash alternative medicine? So I know this is something that I kind of was looking into I originally wanted to be an OBGYN but I kind of wanted to do the DO route because I just thought that they were more holistic in their teaching and it was more less of the medical or medicine model where you know we're learning the types of meds and pushing that as opposed to kind of treating the person and not necessarily the disease so I really like that model but I didn't want to be a doctor anymore so that kind of went out the window but for a PA you know we are under the medical model there are schools that have a more integrative slash alternative way of teaching I think they're usually like in California they're a little bit more advanced I guess you could say a little bit more forward thinking you would just have to kind of call around and look and see and go on different forums and ask these questions but specifically like where you're you know actually in that type of mode like a DO no I think how you would get that experience is by actually like shadowing a DO or doing your rotations with a DO and then working with a DO um you know collaboratively then you will actually learn how they do things their craft what they've um learned prior in DO school and then you can apply that to your practice and how you move as a PA moving forward what are some entry-level jobs to gain health care experience for the program so I did a video about this I may leave that in the link or me leave a link for it here somewhere but I did do a video about that but to me like your fastest kind of quickest entry-level jobs for health care experience now you're seeing health care experience but I'm not sure if you mean health care experience or patient care experience because there are two different things when you're dealing with CASPA and applying the schools so for health care experience that is anything that you possibly could ever do in the health care field so you can be an MA a CNA an EMT of course all of those things but then you can also be you know back office doing like credentialing you can do I was a clinical scheduler for a point in time that gave me health care experience you can be an actual like administrative assistant or front desk or PCR those different things so there are areas where you can get health care experience which is just you having experience in the health care field but if you're talking specifically about patient care experience that will that's more of your texts so your surgical tech MAs that get trained in that your phlebotomists your CNAs that get trained and are able to or GNAs that are able to actually like pass pills and do things of that nature those are really your kind of go to entry level really quick kind of get a certification get it out of the way that will help you get access and and actually experience for PA school programs but those are it that's it I'm done you guys I'm hopefully this was very helpful if you do have any other questions go ahead again and leave them in the comment section below thank you guys so much for watching and thank you guys for joining me on this journey I will talk to you guys next time bye
