The hardest part about being a Pre-PA is the fear that comes with applying to PA school or a new job without a lot of experience. But you can use this opportunity to highlight your excitement, community service, shadowing, energy, and passion for the profession.
The key to success is to identify all of your best Pre-PA traits and share that confidently on your CASPA application, with PA School administrators, or potential future employers. The process often starts with an email and a great resume.
