You don’t have to take it in Touro. Touro has two programs -one in the city & one in Long Island. Also, the few schools that give it in NJ, are all under UMDNJ. The problem with taking it in NJ is 3 + 3. In other words, you need 3 years college, then you need 3 years PA. You can still find programs in the city, where you can probably do it with a total of 4 years or a little bit more. Touro has a web site with info -Touro.edu. Downstate & Pace offers also. There are a lot more, but these are the ones that I know that have frum students.

Bozo – “so is there a need for pa in lkwd?” What does this mean?

Do you have any idea what a PA is? A PA works under the license of a physician. Currently, I know of three frum PA’s working in Lakewood. 2 working at 2 different Pediatricians and one working in Dermatology.
