These internships often require current enrollment in a pre-physician assistant program or related coursework and may include shadowing, clinical tasks, and skill development.

What should I be doing as a pre-PA student?

As a pre-PA student, you should focus on gaining healthcare experience through shadowing, volunteering, or working in medical settings, and maintaining a strong academic record.
