Motivation to become a physician assistant through medical service experience

Motivation to Become a Physician Assistant

The first and foremost thing that motivated me to become a Physician Assistant is my wide experience in medical service. Being able to provide services to sick people always gives me a sense of achievement.

A enjoy being in the medical service. In fact, I have been in quite a number of jobs and missions that focus in medical service. I had been a member of Therapeutic Recreation Society that focuses on the importance of recreational activities for people with disabilities. I also joined an organization that sit with children and burn victims at the children hospital who do not have family members, or have families that are not able to make it due to distance, employment situations, or because they are children of the state. I had also volunteered my time at a women's clinic, the E.R., and the Special Olympics.

I am a graduate of Bachelor of Science in Therapeutic Recreation. Currently, I am working as a surgical technologist in two hospitals in Arkansas - Arkansas Children Hospital and the VA Hospital. I do surgical scrub on various cases of all surgical services, general, orthopedics, vascular, ENT, neurology, urology, and burns. To update and enhance my skills, I attended different medical training courses.
