The Pre-PA Club
Welcome to your information source for all things relating to the physician assistant profession. While it's very desirable to become a PA, it's not easy to get there. From the extensive requirements of difficult prerequisites to having thousands of hours of experience, becoming a PA can be quite the challenge. Savanna Perry from The PA Platform Blog reveals all of her advice on how to reach your goals of becoming a PA. Savanna has been where you are and understands what it takes to look good on paper, and dazzle in an interview to land a spot in a PA program. While Savanna admits that she doesn’t know everything, she has successfully helped hundreds of Pre-PA hopefuls with personal statements and interviews to help them gain acceptance into PA school and start successful careers. Some of the topics that will be covered on this podcast include CASPA, personal statements, GRE, how to study effectively, interview skills, shadowing, letters of recommendation, how to find jobs, and interviews with other practicing physician assistants.
Raise your hand if you've ever struggled with the question "Tell me about yourself." ????♀️ Dr. Dennis Rebelo from @askdennis is on the podcast today to discuss his new book, Story Like You Mean It. We talk about a framework to figuring out the most effective way to integrate storytelling into your interviews or networking events. This is really great, practical advice! The book is on Amazon too if you want to see all of the graphics we refer to! Listen on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you like just by searching for The Pre-PA Club. Come back and tell me your story!

Can we all agree that PAs love a supportive doctor? @sina_thedoc reached out because as a UK physician, he has studied and worked with physician associates and sees the value of teamwork in healthcare. We have a great conversation on YouTube and the podcast today about how PAs function in the UK and what Dr. Ghadiri sees as the future of medical collaboration.

He is a pro and will address fear of public speaking, body language, how to be interesting and keep your audience's attention. All of these tips are applicable to interviews as well! Look up the Pre-PA Club on Apple Podcasts or Spotify to listen or watch with the slides on YouTube now!

@em_muff is joining me on the podcast to talk about her experience. Number 1 - She's awesome. Number 2 - She has so much great advice. Emily was a navy corpsman before deciding to pursue becoming a PA. She is now an active military spouse with a 2 year old, and she felt limited by her PA school options. Yale's online program was the perfect solution! Listen now on your favorite podcast app!

We get the question of how to pay for PA school all the time. I'll be the first to tell you that I am not a financial aid expert! I'm joined on the podcast this week by co-founder of @juno_join, Chris Abkarians, to hear the story of how Juno was created and the philosophy behind their group buying power to negotiate student loan rates. There are some amazing pearls in this episode that you need to hear when it comes to paying for your schooling! (Like tips on negotiating tuition and finding scholarships ????) So definitely check it out on YouTube or wherever you listen to podcasts.

When I asked if anyone knew of someone going from nursing to PA, you guys did not disappoint! @kaynenbrown came highly recommended, and I have to agree! He has recently been accepted to PA school, and is transitioning out of his job as an RN. But why did he choose PA instead of NP? That’s what we’re talking about today! Make sure you check out Kaynen’s Youtube videos because he is killing it!
A little more about Kaynen - I’m 25 years old living in Las Vegas Nevada. I’m currently an ER nurse in the Las Vegas valley and have been for a little over 2 years. I make YouTube videos about nursing and now the PA procession for current nurses/PA’s as well as students and future students of each program of study.

I’m so excited to share today’s episode because it has personally inspired me to consider what we, as PAs, can do to serve patients and people more. I'‘m chatting with Eryn and Ashley from @handsofesperanza, a non-profit providing healthcare to rural areas of Guatemala. Listen to the story of how this organization was born out of a PA school mission trip, but has become such an asset to the Guatemalan community. If you’ve been curious about global health or medical missions, we have some great ways for you to consider getting involved. Learn more at https://www.handsofesperanza.org/

Everyone has questions about how to pay for PA school, and then how to deal with the loans that are typically necessary. Travis Hornsby from Student Loan Planner is sharing his tips and advice for making the best financial choices when it comes to paying for your schooling.
Getting private loans for PA school is only a good idea if you're replacing Grad PLUS loans with lower cost private loans. You also want to make sure you're not going to work for a non profit employer.
If you're already out of school, refinancing PA school loans to a lower interest rate is a good idea if you don't benefit from forgiveness programs.
And if you're really confused you can get help to figure it out both before and after borrowing.

Today on the podcast I’m not talking to a PA or PA student. If you remember Sean from a previous episode, he was a non-traditional applicant. I had the opportunity to sit down and chat with his wife! They moved from Texas to NC with 2 children for him to start PA school after he quit his job as a teacher and coach. She works as a teacher and is super upbeat and positive, but has a great perspective on what it’s like to be on the other side of a spouse’s decision to pursue PA school.

I’ve been getting a lot of questions about what to expect in PA school, and this is a question that can come up in interviews too! While each program is different, I’m breaking down what my program entailed - didactic year, clinical year, different courses, what our days looked like, and what you can expect. PS - No one is lying when they say PA school is the hardest thing you’ll ever do.

How important is PA school accreditation? What does provisional status mean? What about probation? How does that affect your ability to take boards or get a job? Should you apply to these programs? Are your chances of acceptance any better? We’re answering all of those questions today! Here are the fast facts:
Provisional, Continued, and Probation are all full accreditation statuses that will allow you to sit for boards as long as you start a program that has one of these indications.
Did you know you can look up exactly why a program is on probation? Here’s the link - http://www.arc-pa.org/accreditation/accredited-programs/accreditation-actions/

Time for a little intro and refresher on why I became a PA for anyone new to the podcast. Then, we’re jumping into tips for making your CASPA experience a little easier. Here are the highlights and links:
CASPA only calculates your GPA once with the information that is entered at the time of submission. That means courses in progress won’t be included even if you update later with new grades. What is my CASPA GPA? - https://www.thepaplatform.com/blog-2/csk9jra4zhektfyerfzehth9d2ejzb
Everything hypothetically should carry over between cycles except for letters of recommendation and the personal statement. Don’t rely solely on CASPA to save all of your information. You can use the HCE/PCE Excel sheets from www.thepaplatform.com/downloads to organize your experiences.
You cannot edit experiences that are already entered in CASPA, but you can add new ones. The schools will get updates, but they may not look at them. Consider sending a separate update to the program specifically. You can find contact information listed at www.thepaplatform.com/physician-assistant-programs-map

Sean Childress has a great story. He is a husband, dad, former high school coach and teacher, and now he is a PA student! Following a lingering dream, he made decisions and sacrifices to reach his goal. After moving from Texas to North Carolina, Sean started PA school last week at Campbell University. We discuss what that was like for his family, how he decided when the best time to quit his job was, and how he completed organic chemistry in 3 weeks! IG - @sean_childress

No one really talks about money during PA school. So you graduate, likely have a chunk of debt, and hopefully a nice salary. Ideally, you make good decisions with your money from the start, but Dave Duquette from Impact Medical Advisors is on the podcast to share his advice from the perspective of a financial advisor and husband of a PA. Listen in for tips to guide you in setting up a good financial future from before PA school starts to after graduation.

It’s interview season ya’ll! There’s no doubt about it, and even though it’s still early, I’m hearing about interview invites going out every single day. A question I’m frequently asked is when should you start preparing for your PA school interview? And my answer is as soon as you submit your application. You never know when the invite will come. I’ve heard of people being called 24 hours before (if they were local) or having up to 6 months to prepare. This is not a situation you want to be caught unprepared in though. In today’s podcast episode, I’m showing you just a small portion of a mock interview I did with Sam from @my.path.to.pa and she graciously let me share her answers from our session. Hopefully, this gives you a little bit of an idea of what happens during a mock interview, and helps you feel like it might not be as weird as you’re expecting.

PA school is so overwhelming, but you still have to figure out how to take care of yourself and stay healthy. Today’s interview is with Ashley Turner. After graduating from UAB’s PA program, Ashley works as a full-time surgery PA with a background in nutrition. Ashley also does nutrition coaching through Faster Way to Fat Loss (which I did, and loved). We talk about our experiences in PA school, how to make good choices, and how to get back on track.

Every part of becoming a physician assistant is stressful, and comes with a decent amount of overwhelm and doubt. While it’s completely normal to feel that way along your journey, don’t lose sight of who you are, why you’re doing this, and avoid finding your identity in your profession. That’s what we’re talking about today.

It happens. Even after working for 5 years as a physician assistant, I’ll have the occasional patient who is less than thrilled about seeing a PA. Whether they were scheduled incorrectly or didn’t have the right expectations, it’s tough to walk into a room where you know you may not be welcome. Today I’m talking about how I handle those situations on the podcast.

Are you concerned about your grades and whether they will be good enough to get you into PA school? Did you struggle in undergrad and feel like you need to prove that you can handle rigorous coursework? Maybe a post-baccalaureate program would be a good choice for you. I interviewed Dr. Joon Kim from Keck Graduate Institute’s Pre-PA Certificate program, and there’s a lot more to a post-bacc program than I even knew!
