Your close it takes 6 years if you include the bachelors. I’m finishing through the university partnership with the local community college. I soon will hold a BS in Allied Health with a minor in Biology, and a associates in surgical technology (surge tech start 30 to 40 range). I am currently looking at two PA schools to apply to, in order to make myself more competitive I have earned an EMT card and will be working on a Squad after my internship at NASA Glenn in the Optical research lab PA schools do like to see health care experience and there are ways to get experience well gaining the required courses. GPA wise I hold a 3.35, for PA school the minimum is 3.0, I have seen the average 3.3 to 3.5 for applicants. The program last 27 months on average, and pay after the program is very good! I personally wish I had done this in the first place, I do not regret gaining my flight ratings then changing my mind once the economy died, because I can always fly for fun. If anyone would have questions on PA schools or other info about health care majors just PM me and I would be glad to help! Good Luck to anyone going back to school!
