Send us a text

In this episode, we dive into the science of how learning happens—and how that science applies to the unique challenges of PA education. We explore key learning and development theories, from Bloom’s Taxonomy to Conscious Competence and the Dreyfus Model of Skill Acquisition.

Then we bring theory to life by connecting it with evidence-based learning strategies that support PA students in mastering complex clinical content, building diagnostic reasoning skills, and transitioning from novice to competent clinician.

Whether you’re a PA student looking to sharpen your study approach or a PA educator striving to design more impactful instruction, this episode offers practical insights grounded in educational theory, because knowing how we learn is just as critical as what we learn.
