<p>WHAT ARE SOME GREAT MAJORS IN MEDICINE... just some different majors in medicine and the health field that you might know about and the advantages of different jobs... some other jobs then just becoming a doctor! ie nurse pharmacy etc.. thanks</p>
<p>My son was considering becoming a physician until a physician he was shadowing suggested he become a “physician assistant”. Since then, we’ve actually had a few physicians tell us they’d go that route if they had to do it all over again. We researched it and found some schools that offered 5 year combined bachelors/masters degree, with freshman acceptance. He just finished his first year at one of these schools.</p>
<p>cool is there good job outlook for physician assistant? and which schools offered that program, its only 5 years? and any other thoughts…??</p>
<p>king, here’s a link to the Dept. of Labor website that gives a lot of info about physicians assistants:</p>
<p>[Physician</a> Assistants](<a href=“http://www.bls.gov/oco/ocos081.htm]Physician”>http://www.bls.gov/oco/ocos081.htm)</p>
<p>Their prediction for this field is: great job prospects and relatively high salaries.</p>
<p>This site has some good information:</p>
