MEDtakeovers
Medtakeovers’ creator and physician assistant extraordinaire, Andrea Benedict, launched this platform in 2016 to provide interested premeds and future healthcare professionals a behind-the-scenes look at various careers in medicine.
MEDtakeovers is built upon a social media platform that allows healthcare professionals to bring you along with them for a day in their life as well as answer all of your burning questions.
Instead of scripted and rehearsed videos, you get candid and authentic insiders perspective of various health care professions, so you have a more accurate representation of what it’s like working in medicine.
MEDtakeovers will help you find answers to questions like
- “How can I become a surgeon?”
- "How hard is medical school?”
- “What is the difference between a PA vs. NP”
- “What is a Physician Assistant?”
- “What is the role of a nurse?”
And many, many other questions!
Our goal is to provide you with a behind-the-scenes look at various careers in medicine to help you choose which healthcare career is right for you! - Andrea Benedict, Medtakovers
