Physician assistant acceptance rates and factors

¶ … physician assistants at the Emory University Physicians Assistant Program. A letter of introduction and why this program

MY CHOICE OF MENORY PHYSICIAN PROGRAM

The choice of being a physician's assistant has been one of my desires since the time that I was little and met my first physician's assistant. PA's are able to provide healthcare services under the supervision of a physician. Selecting this field will give me opportunity to diagnose illnesses and offer preventative healthcare services under the care of a physician. I will be part of a healthcare team that will take medical histories, examine and treat patients. This is part of the program that I am looking forward to. I love people and have always wanted to take care of different people ranging from children to adults. As a physician assistant I will able to assist in treating minor injuries, such as sprained wrists to setting a cast. The opportunity to help others is important in my goal of being a physician assistant. It is my desire to graduate and become a physician assistant in a rural town close to some of my family. The opportunity to treat others and give back part of what I have received is exciting to me.

This field is a marketable field that has approximately 58,000 jobs a year. This offers primary care in areas such as general internal medicine, pediatrics, and family medicine. There are specialty jobs in general and thoracic surgery, emergency medicine, orthopedics, and geriatrics. This will give me choices that will give a diversity of areas to choose to work. Selecting a field where jobs are available is important in today's times. I specifically want to be a part of a team that offers preventative care so that others can experience a longer, healthier lifestyle.
