Curriculum

PA school is becoming ever so near-113 days. Yes, I am counting down. I receive an email or a piece of mail from the school about once every two weeks. It's weird to think that in 113 days I will be meeting all my classmates. I am part of a small class..24 to be exact, 8 boys and 16 girls. Many of us are already friends due to facebook. We have all been in contact and even plan to maybe meet each other before school begins.

Today, I was talking with a classmate of mine from undergrad. We were actually partners with each other in Microbiology lab. Who would have thought both of us would be in PA school? She is attending another school and started in January. I was talking to her about the class work which made me curious about what my curriculum would be in the fall.

22 credits. Yes you read it right..twenty-two credits!! How intimidating. My curriculum is as follows:

Research Methodology 2
The Physician Assistant Role in Modern Health Care I 1
Physiology 4
Neuroanatomy 2
Clinical Microbiology and Infectious Diseases 3
Gross Anatomy with Lab 6
Physical Diagnosis I 3
Clinical Pharmacology 1

Stressful..yes. Exciting? Yes. Scary? Yes. So worth the reward in the end? Totally!!

About Me

About Me
My name is Ashleigh and I am 27 years old starting the next chapter of my life. I attended PA school to become a physician assistant and graduated in December 2012. I am a daughter, a sister, a dancer, and compassionate about medicine and people. I love helping others and I can't wait to start this journey.

About this Blog

If you are just curious about a Physician Assistant (PA), or looking to be a PA, then you were just like me in the past.

I always knew I wanted to be in the medical profession, but I didn't know exactly where I wanted to go with it. Did I want to be a doctor? Not really, I knew 8 more years of school was not for me.

I will be creating a blog for the every day life of a physician assistant. From studying, to stressing, to sleeping, to crying, to helping patients, to rotations, to every day life, and how I got there and through it.

I really look forward to this and can't wait to see what happens.
