University of Central Florida
Prior to PA school, I obtained my bachelor’s degree in Biomedical sciences from the University of Central Florida in Orlando, Florida. It was during this time that I spent countless hours both shadowing and working alongside some pretty amazing PA’s in the emergency room and this is where I fell in love with the profession. Unsure of where I was interested in attending school, Methodist was highly recommended to me by a customer at one of my jobs post-graduation while in Florida, who just so happened to be a recent graduate from the program. It was through our conversation and my inquiry into the program that I decided to go ahead and send in my application. I ultimately chose to attend Methodist University because all the anxiety that is often associated with PA school interviews was virtually non-existent during my interview day. The current students, as well as the faculty, were so inviting and were more interested in getting to know me as a person rather than the details on my application. This inviting and supportive environment has been persistent since the start of the program and has allowed me to flourish academically and professionally. I do not regret my decision and if I could go back and do it all again, I still would’ve chosen Methodist University PA program.
