hi guys

I have a question regarding the physician assistant jobs

I have heard 2 things about them

firstly you can get a H-1visa with these jobs

secondly they give a negative impression to antprogram directors reviewing your applications for Internal med residencies

does anyone know about this

thankyou

You would have to have a PA licensure in the state that you wanted to work in.

Check the licensing requirements where you live or want to work. Having a medical degree might not be what they are looking for.

Good luck
