How can licensed doctor in Philippines become a Physician assistant here in America?
RomualdVictor asked:
My mom is a doctor in Philippines, and 12 years ago we moved to America.
The license didn’t transfer in America she’s been a medical assistant instead.
so after 12 years, both of her kids are college now, and she’s interested in becoming a Physician’s assistant.
How does she go about becoming a PA?
Does she still have to take the two year training to be a PA?
or can she just take the certifying exam?
Thank you so much in advance!

wow sorry to hear that
I think you still have to take a two year program (in california at least)
im a foothill college student and the requiremts are at least some time as a medical assistant or EMT or Paramedic and then you can get in a two year program but thats only at my college iono about the rest
I would suggest your mother contacts American Academy of Physician Assistants:. Different states seem to have different requirements so the American Academy of Physician Assistants should be able to answer any and all questions that your mother has.
