Undergrad Education

I will go to Miami U for an undergraduate education in Kinesiology to be able to attend a graduate program.

Clubs/Org.

verretda — 2024-12-02 21:37:25 UTC

I will join the PA club to learn about the steps to becoming one. I could also become an S.I instructor later on to further improve my understanding of my major in general.

Complete prerequisite courses for PA school

I will need to complete specific prerequisite courses for attending PA school that might not be apart of my major.

Healthcare/Patient Care hours

verretda — 2024-12-02 21:43:17 UTC

During the summers of my 4 years at Miami, I will volunteer/intern in the healthcare field to get my hours for PA school which 1000 are required.

Apply to PA school

verretda — 2024-12-02 21:45:20 UTC

After my 4 years at Miami, I will apply to PA schools around Kentucky where I'm from. I will do this so I can eventually get certified to be a PA.

Interview at PA schools

verretda — 2024-12-02 21:46:59 UTC

I will interview at PA schools as you need to for every one. This is very important as it is a big factor in getting into a PA school, especially competitive ones.

Take and pass the PANCE

verretda — 2024-12-02 21:49:44 UTC

I will take the PANCE after PA school to become an officially certified physician assistant in whatever state I choose.

Join clubs/find study groups

verretda — 2024-12-02 21:51:47 UTC

PA school is very difficult so I will need to join clubs or find groups to study with in order to pass my classes and the PANCE.

Seek out counseling at the SCS

verretda — 2024-12-02 21:54:55 UTC

I can seek out counseling at the Student Counseling Services (SCS). This will help me do well and pass my undergrad classes with a good GPA.

Find an entry level job

verretda — 2024-12-02 21:56:58 UTC

I could find an entry-level job such as being an EMT or some kind of nurse to prepare for being a PA.

Seek out research opportunities at the office for undergraduate research

verretda — 2024-12-02 22:00:23 UTC

I could begin some work early in terms of becoming a PA. I'd do this by participating in a research study where a experienced person in my field will guide me which would look great on a resume.

Take time to figure out what kind of PA I'd like to be

verretda — 2024-12-02 22:03:39 UTC

I need to set a plan or find time to discuss with probably my parents on which type of PA I'd like to become. I can choose from a variety of types, but ones I'm interested in are cardiology, anesthesia, internal medicine, and general practice
