    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.

    health-no im not. i just wanted to know what the job market is for PA. if your going to spend a lot of money on a degree you find out before if there’s a need for it, if it’s flooded you dont waste money on that degree.

    It’s not flooded, but it’s also not #1 on the labor dept’s list on most needed jobs. Google the list, if you want a career in something that’s very high in demand. As a matter of fact, this country is growing way too fast, due to immigration (legal or not) and reproduction; the 125 medical schools here, can’t produce enough doctors to handle the population. So since there will be more demand for medical practioners and there aren’t enough doctors, Nurse Practioners & PA’s will fill in the gap.

    bozo, if you’re into Seton Hall, check out their online programs (Seton WorldWide). I’m doing one of them.
