Hi there! I am a currently PA student about to round out my S1 year. My ultimate goal to to travel around the world to practice medicine with amazing groups like yours! How did you get started down this path? How many years experience did you have before landing this job? Any other resources on where to find international opportunities as a PA? What you’re doing sounds incredible, but personally I don’t think I could live there for so long. Anyway, thanks for this AMA, it’s awesome!

Thanks for the response. Currently, what you did is pretty much what I want to do! I was an EMT prior to school, so EM is pretty much a no-brainer for me. Absolutely love the environment and range of skills required, so I very much want to do a residency. My school also has a heavy emphasis on rural care, so I'm leaning that way already for employment down the line. Thanks again for your insight!

Ok so a not medicine related question, how do you stay sane?? Is there a gym there? Movies? I imagine I would bring a whole damn library with me and read all day.

I can tell you with 100% certainty the people who actually work on the ambulances don't care if you can pay or not.
