My advice for getting started would be to get as much exposure as you can to different areas of medicine. There's a lot of options out there that you can do as far as medicine is concerned, so if you think that you want to be a physician assistant, I would try to find PAs to follow and shadow. There's tons of opportunities as far as PAs are concerned to work in medicine, so I would try to get as much experience as you can ahead of time.
