Quizlet

Sharing is caring, right? Well, I'm here to share one of my favorite study tools -- digital flashcards on Quizlet. During PA school, this has been one of my many study tactics. It's an easy way to study on-the-go, and I've really enjoyed the "Match" game as well. Competing with my fellow students kept me engaged and trying to beat their times! 


Clinical Medicine Review Sets

Here are the review sets, with mostly information for the clinical medicine portion of my "Big Three" courses. They are broken down into my specific testing units, so occasionally you'll see a part one and part two section for a single body system. These sets do include some diagnostic and pharmacology information, but again, are mostly focused on clinical medicine. Not every section is listed here just yet, so please know it's a work in progress!


Pharmacology Sets

I made these sets with the intention of playing the "Match" game with them, so you'll probably find them most useful when used under that context, rather than as regular flashcards. Again, it's totally fun to play this with people you know and try to beat each other's times!



*I feel it's smart to add a little caveat here. I am a student and not an expert, and I can not guarantee the accuracy or completeness of the information in these Quizlet sets. I have done my very best to create accurate flashcards, but I'm only human and can make mistakes! If you do see a mistake, please don't hesitate to let me know.

PA School Interviews: 35 Practice Questions and Tips for Zoom

Getting ready for PA school interviews? Congratulations! And while interview season may look a little different this year (Zoom calls, anyone?), the importance of being properly prepared is still the same! I used to work in advertising and public relations, and sometimes I would prepare experts to talk to the media. What was the most important thing for the experts to do? Know your key messages. There's going to be topics you know will likely be addressed in an interview, so be prepared to speak to those specific things.  Same goes for PA school interviews. Yes, I've heard of programs asking some off-the-wall questions that you probably wouldn't see coming, but generally speaking there's a variety of likely topics that will come up. My advice? Think through how you want to answer those questions ahead of time. For me, this looked like an 11-page Google doc with sample questions I prepared answers for. It forced me to think through scenarios I'd want to share and my ...

Resiliency: PA School During a Pandemic

I saw this article on Facebook and it really hit home for me: "Your 'Surge Capacity' is Depleted -- It's Why You Feel Awful." I strongly encourage you to read the whole article yourself, but a few things stuck out to me that I feel compelled to share.  First, what's surge capacity? It's your adaptive abilities for dealing with acute stress. The problem with a pandemic is that it isn't really acute in the same way that a massive tornado or other disaster might be. We're in this for the long haul, and if you're like me, those adaptive abilities have worn thin.  For me, this has looked like feelings of helplessness and exhaustion. I've spent a lot more time on my couch watching bad reality TV than I'd like to admit. But with school starting in up in less than a week, that really isn't going to fly. So how does a student (in an intensive graduate program) keep moving forward? "Both-And" Thinking One of my favorite lessons fro...

Intentions for 2020: Free time, friends and finances

Wow, it has been a whirlwind the last few weeks. Between work (and pulling some extra hours here and there), school and life, I feel like I blinked and November was over. Quick updates? I kicked butt on my endocrine module exams, did pretty well on my ENT exam, and now need to survive one more Big 3 exam (dermatology, yikes) and a couple smaller exams before I can finally take a much-needed break. Almost there!! The end of the year is fast approaching, and I'm a big fan of reflecting on how the previous year went. And wow, it has been a whirlwind year! If I think about how I thought 2019 would go in January, it definitely looks a lot different here in December. Yes, I started the year knowing I was going to PA school, but I ended up taking a spot at a different school and starting three months earlier. I left my dietitian job at a hospital I loved (I miss my dietitian, nurse, NP and doctors friends so much!). I moved into a tiny studio apartment on "fraternity row...
