I can't answer your question directly, but I recommend checking with the American Academy of Physician's Assistants at aapa.org.  I'm sure you will be much more likely to find an answer to your question there.

Um, Medical Assistant jobs...  lol\n\nIf you haven't gone to school for it yet, i'd suggest going for RN... Same time amount of school, but they get paid 3x more.

First, off you will need to graduate High school or get a GED. I suggest you start off at a Community College and ask them at the career center. Also do you want to be a doctor or a assistant? Because you can easily become a assistant in 9 mos through private schools like Bryman College.

The good thing about the medical profession is that there are so many types of jobs that require varying levels of education, so there's a lot to choose from.  I started out as a historian (just taking patient histories) and worked my way into transcription, which offers more money and the chance to use my writing skills -- lots of doctors, when they dictate, don't speak as one would write, so they depend on the transcriptionist to take what they say and rework it.  Being a medical assistant will offer you the chance to work with people, and if you like doing that, you might continue your education (even while keeping your job) to become a nurse, a physician's assistant or a nurse practitioner.  Since you especially like working with children, you could work in a pediatric office or hospital.  Considering the fact that there are so many options, my opinion is that if you're in a medical assisting program right now, you should finish it and then get a job in a medical office or hospital before deciding if you want to do something different.  By actually working in the field, you'll see firsthand what all of the jobs consist of and you'll get a better idea of just where you'd fit in.  Best of luck!

If I were you I would seriously look into PA (Physician Assistant) programs. They perform a lot of duties a physician would normally do (physical exams, minor procedures, prescribe meds). They do this under a doctor's supervision. Most programs are about 2 years after a bachelor's degree and the pay is pretty good.\nGood Luck!

A great website to use is the Occupational Outlook Handbook.  This website tells you all you need to know about each profession as well other resources.  Good luck!

I would think that any local medical center or hospital could offer materials for this type of research.  The medical section of the University library would also be an excellent resource.  Online is allows a good place to start though.

Talk to your librarian. They are well-versed in helping people find appropriate resources for their needs.

Try a doctor's office.  MAs are not in high demand right now.  RN's and LPN's tend to do better with not much more training.

physician assistant or PA is the highest level from among your list, both in terms of education, salary, and time required for a degree.  A PA functions like a doctor in many respects.  This is similar to a nurse-practitioner, or NP.\n\nNursing, look it up, pretty straight forward, there are lvn and RN, with RN there is a BSN and ADN ( 2 vs 4 yr degree)\n\nMedical assistant is a person who has very basic knowledge of medical office procedures and assists with blood pressures, etc..  Do you want to know something more specific?
