Pre-PA Student Forums

PA forums and communities were a valuable resource during my PA Admissions process. However, all resources available to me were American since at the time the 1st PA program in Ontario had not yet graduated the very first class. There are quite a few Pre-PA Communities available on forums, LinkedIn and Facebook. I recently started the Canadian Pre-PA Student Network which I hope you’ll join and browse through the questions that discuss everything from PA Practice in Canada, Life as a PA student and questions about admissions.

Physician Assistant Forum

I list the first, because this is the first resource I used as a Pre-PA Student. The Physician Assistant Forum has been around since 1998. They have forum sections for Practicing PAs, International PAs, PA Student Forums, and finally Pre-PA Forums. Some of the great forum topics include “Must Know” Tips for PA School applicants, Pre-PA FAQs, and Ask a PA Admissions Director.

Canadian Pre-PA Student Network

I started the Canadian Pre-PA Student Network on Facebook, in response to numerous Pre-PA students interested in Canadian programs. There are current PA students from all 3 civilian programs, practicing PAs across the country, as well at time of writing our Ontario Chapter PA president as part of the group to answer questions about scope of practice, PA school  & admissions.

Keep in mind that the information and advice in these forums are reflections of the experiences and opinions of PA applicants, students, and alumni. The most accurate up to date information about admissions and PA information can be found on the official PA program websites, and on the Canadian Association of Physician Assistants website.
