A good friend of mine is looking into online pa programs so that she can become a physician’s assistant without having to attend a campus-based school. There are many benefits for her to attending an online medical school rather than a school that requires her to go to class. One benefit that I didn’t even think of until she mentioned it is that it means that she will be able to travel while she’s in school. This travel can actually benefit her in her career.

The main thing that she wants to be able to do is to travel to work part-time in a third world country. She wants to be able to do work with people who really need a physician’s assistant to help them in their daily lives. Going to school online would mean that she could complete her degree while also getting this kind of hands-on experience in a developing nation.

She also believes that she would be able to get a good sense of whether or not she wants to do the job that she thinks that she wants to do. That’s because she hopes to be able to eventually work as a traveling nurse. She’s not sure yet that traveling all of the time for work is right for her though. Traveling while attending school online will help her to figure that out.
