The Journey To Becoming A PA
This podcast was adapted from a webinar session of the Student Lecture Series. PA students Amanda Gallagher and Adam Weber lead a discussion about the path to becoming a PA. Joined by PA student panelists Sid Bauer, Jessica Dang, Josie Hogeland, and Nate Chau, and Professor Shawn Garvey, they delve into key aspects of the application process, highlighting the significance of personal statements and healthcare experience. The group also explores the interview process and the overall progression of the training program. Additionally, they answer audience questions, such as “What advice do you have for re-applicants?” and “Is taking a gap year recommended?”
