What Kind of Experience is Required for PA School
Most programs want 1000 hours of really high quality experience. This amounts to 10 hours per week for 2 years. Usually volunteer experience is not enough.
My advice is to become either a CNA or a basic EMT early on. Then you can arrange to volunteer in the ER to gain experience.
If you need the real scoop, consult the school.
