University of California at Santa Barbara
Prior to PA school, I was a scribe in the emergency department and a medical assistant at an orthopedic surgery practice. I loved everything I was learning at work and was inspired by the way I saw physician assistants connecting with their patients and functioning in a healthcare team. I was initially attracted to Methodist’s high PANCE pass rates, continuous accreditation status, small class size, and emphasis placed on diversity within the PA profession. After completing the interview, I knew this was where I wanted to attend PA school. Students and faculty were warm and welcoming, and the entire process was extremely organized. I had so much fun that it flew by and I was actually sad to leave. I’m so happy I chose Methodist’s PA program. Our tight-knit community has been an amazing support system while living across the country and during school.
