    Hey Mario, super encouraged to come across a fellow Christian in PA school! My husband & I have also been reminded of God's provision & mercy during my PA school journey (including getting into a super crazy car accident on our move a couple days before starting my program in SoCal). May the Lord continue to bless you + your wife & keep your eyes fixed on Him for His glory & your good!

    Viktoriya thank you so much for kind words! This PA journey has tested our faith in ways I was not expecting but it's been an opportunity for the Lord to just show up in our lives and allow us to fully rely on him. I hope there were no major injuries from that car accident! My wife and I will keep you and your family in our prayers. Hope all is well amiga and thank you for watching!

    I'm a dreamer and ATSU university just opened a campus in California in my city. They simply told me they do not accept DACA students which is sad since I can get a PA license in California. I'm happy to see our hispanics are now doing amazing in healthcare. Just wish they gave us a chance. 😔

Working in the LLUMC ED is by far one of the best patient care experiences out there and I have no doubt you'll become a competitive candidate!

    I am debating PA school but don't want to fail out from the sheer amount of course material at once :/ got a BS in global disease bio from davis last year but have been hesitant to apply bc of severe imposter syndrome. Also, I am loving the temple coffee roasters cup!!

    Hermano/a…you are capable of getting through and becoming a PA-C! The imposter syndrome is something I experience daily - but it’s through experiencing difficult, uncomfortable, and often stressful situations that our growth as medical providers happens! The Mario that was once nervous and anxious about taking a manual blood pressure on my first real patient as an EMT is the same Mario now that is responsible for reading an EKG or prescribing the correct antibiotic! I still get nervous, but recognize that medicine is ultimately a team sport and everyone is learning and growing as we progress through each patient encounter, class, course, and job! The more important thing to ask yourself that can’t be taught - are you passionate about caring for others and are you committed to being a lifelong learner? If you can answer yes to both…you can become a PA. I highly recommend you check out this video, in the middle part I interview one of my classmates who mentions his fear of failing out of PA school: kzread.info/dash/bejne/iJqMyNlyqLy0drA.htmlsi=2koIfRN7GOyRntn6 I hope it helps. Animo! 👨🏻‍⚕️🇲🇽🤝🏼

The main thing is handling the course load bc undergrad was hard for me aswell. Do you possibly do private mentoring to get an acceptance into PA school?

    Hola hermano! The UCD PA program is not cheap. 🫠 Roughly around 240k Here’s the link to the program’s financial aid cost of attendance: health.ucdavis.edu/financialaid/coa-son.html That being said, I was blessed to get a scholarship that covered about 90% of my tuition and living expenses. Here’s the link to that: nhsc.hrsa.gov/scholarships/overview Saludos!
