How To Prepare for Rotations
The PANCE blueprint has a lot of topics to study, so how do you know what to focus on?
We haven't ever claimed to be the best students in the world, but you can gain from both our procrastination and our experience as preceptors over the last 14 years: Learn the basics. Know the easy stuff: 3 options for treating nausea, most likely causes of postoperative fever...don't swing for the fences and learn obscure pimp questions. Those might get you some props in the moment, but the best students (who we later pursue for jobs) are the ones who get the big picture.
Google search the "Top conditions diagnosed in _____________ (insert rotation name here)" and you'll quickly see what you can focus on for your rotation. Get a solid understanding of those and you'll make a good impression. Yes, you have to learn it all for the PANCE exam, but as your rotation draws near, you'll feel crunched for time - learning a good foundation of the most common things you'll be seeing will absolutely help you out.

How to spot a good PA/MD working relationship
Want to watch this podcast instead? (you'll quickly see we have good faces for podcasting!): https://youtu.be/go9Edf69LDw
Support PA Startup, subscribe to our channel--I mean, we might as well make this official, am I right?
How do you find a good fit as a new graduate who is just wanting to get hired? Too often new grads take a job without thinking about their relationship with the physician.
We work closely with physicians as PAs, but not all physicians understand the best ways to utilize PAs. There is a huge difference between working in a practice where you're utilized well and practicing to the top of your ability versus being stuck simply doing grunt work.
Hopefully this episode can show you what to WATCH FOR and what to watch OUT for!
