The Bachelorette Season 21 Star Jenn Tran’s Newest Career Move
Jenn Will Return To Her Original Career
I was so happy to hear that, in 2025, Jenn will be returning to school in March to complete her master’s degree in order to pursue her original career as a physician assistant. Jenn had taken a break from working on her studies in order to participate in The Bachelor, The Bachelorette, and Dancing With The Stars. In an interview with People, Jenn shared that it’s “really intimidating to go back.” She explained, “I didn’t realize how much time I had taken off until now.” She’s currently starting the process of getting her paperwork in and registering for her courses again because she plans to go back in March.
Jenn explained that she has a lot of work that she needs to do before she goes back to school, including refresher courses, in order to get back to the level that she was at before she put her studies on pause. Jenn must complete the second of two years of her coursework in order to complete her degree. She’ll also be supervised by professionals in her field.
Jenn shared that in the second year, “you start working in the clinics with doctors and PAs and nurses and everything, and getting a feel for what it’s like. I finished two rotations already, so I only have six more to go and then I’m free, and then I’m a PA, which is also really scary.“ She added, “I am going back, and it’s just going to take time and a lot of hard work, but it’s something that I’m so passionate about. I’ve been wanting to study medicine my whole life, and it’s just something that feels like I would regret if I didn’t finish.”

Jenn explained that she took some time off from her medical career in order to “let things die down” after her Bachelorette journeybefore she returns to a clinical setting. She said that she didn’t want to give a patient a physical exam and have them recognize her and tell her that they knew everything about her. Jenn knows that it’ll probably be “a weird experience” for her patients, but she’s still looking forward to it. She said, “I don’t know, I’ve never done this before. I don’t know if anyone has ever done this trajectory before, so we’re just going to take it one day at a time and see what happens.”
Jenn is also excited to use social media to document her return to school and her career as a physician assistant. She shared that she was cast on The Bachelor because she was on TikTok sharing her day-to-day life in physician assistant school. A casting producer saw her content and reached out to her about appearing on the show.
Jenn explained that using social media to talk about her career was something that she enjoyed doing before. She expressed that she’s really excited to get back to doing it now because she knows that a lot of her fans are based in medicine, and they’re excited to see her go back to her physician assistant career. I’mdefinitely excited to see Jenn returning to her physician assistant career, not only because she’ll be renewing her passion, but because I believe that she should distance herself from the Bachelor franchise as much as possible.
