The PANCE blueprint has a lot of topics to study, so how do you know what to focus on?
We haven't ever claimed to be the best students in the world, but you can gain from both our procrastination and our experience as preceptors over the last 14 years: Learn the basics. Know the easy stuff: 3 options for treating nausea, most likely causes of postoperative fever...don't swing for the fences and learn obscure pimp questions. Those might get you some props in the moment, but the best students (who we later pursue for jobs) are the ones who get the big picture.
Google search the "Top conditions diagnosed in _____________ (insert rotation name here)" and you'll quickly see what you can focus on for your rotation. Get a solid understanding of those and you'll make a good impression. Yes, you have to learn it all for the PANCE exam, but as your rotation draws near, you'll feel crunched for time - learning a good foundation of the most common things you'll be seeing will absolutely help you out.

Support PA Startup, subscribe to our channel--I mean, we might as well make this official, am I right?
How do you find a good fit as a new graduate who is just wanting to get hired? Too often new grads take a job without thinking about their relationship with the physician.
We work closely with physicians as PAs, but not all physicians understand the best ways to utilize PAs. There is a huge difference between working in a practice where you're utilized well and practicing to the top of your ability versus being stuck simply doing grunt work.
Hopefully this episode can show you what to WATCH FOR and what to watch OUT for!

How do you pay for PA school? How hard is it to pay off student loan debt?
Meet Kristin. She’s a PA, just like us. She graduated and got a job, just like us. But that’s where the similarities stop (with us anyway!)—she paid off nearly $200,000 in student loans in JUST 16 MONTHS!
She didn’t stop there…she has some exciting things going on with her new financial freedom and BEST OF ALL—she can help YOU do it too. Kristin offers coaching both in-person and online to help you get on top of your financial situation, whether you’re a student, new grad, or old guy like Chris.
Student loans are a fact of life for pretty much everyone. With the average cost of PA school coming in at $88,677 (!!!)* we all expect to have them and have to pay them. I’ve always assumed paying them down with the minimum payment was the only option—until THIS conversation!
Give Kristin a shout: https://instagram.com/strivewithkristin
Or hit up her website for free blog articles, get on her mailing list, or check out her coaching course: https://www.strivewithkristin.com
Kristin rocks. I want to be like Kristin some day.
Time Stamps:
2:26–The beauty of flexibility as a PA 2:51–What’s it like working overnights? 4:16–How much debt did Kristin have? 7:38–HOW DID SHE GET OUT OF IT? 13:45–How to pick a moonlighting gig 17:25–Tips for getting started 21:03–What you should be doing in school 22:30–Kristin drops the mic (even more unBELIEVABLE news!) 25:34–No wait, she’s not done—yet another Mic Drop moment! 26:30–Where Kristin invests money (*not financial advice, just her experience!) 30:05–How Kristin can help YOU do the SAME THING 32:50–Where to find Kristin online, get on her mailing list, or check out her course 35:39–Overwhelmed by debt? Kristin has some encouragement for you*Thanks to The PA Life for this statistic, show Stephen some love: https://www.thepalife.com/how-much-does-it-cost-to-go-to-physician-assistant-pa-school/

Rotations are a great part of PA school--they provide a way to balance book knowledge with clinical knowledge, provide perspective....but also they give you an opportunity to put your best foot forward.

Everyone fears rejection, but it’s a fact of life
Statistically speaking, it very well might be part of your PA school journey. While it hurts to not get in the first time through, the way you handle this rejection and get back on task makes all the difference. My guest for Episode 23 has lived it—and handled it like a champ.

Writing tips are just for pre-PAs, right? No...!
Mike Huckabee, Ph.D., PA-C, Program Director for the Mayo Clinic PA Program, talked in Episode 18 of the PA Startup Podcast how the essay is the best way to stand out among competitive applications, and I agree. It’s the START of your interview…the first chance you can show them personality outside of grades/transcripts and work history.
But writing isn’t only for applications—you’ll be writing cover letters for jobs, thank you notes to preceptors/interviewers, and in many other ways throughout your career.
But HOW you write is equally important as WHAT you write.
