Career Flexibility
We know that many PAs switch specialties during their career; however, little is known about the PA and employer's experience. Tune in to hear what JAAPA authors, Eliana Ward-Lev, Clair Kuriakose, and Jay Navoa discovered through their research on this topic. To learn more, check out their publication “Career flexibility for PAs: What makes switching specialties successful?” from the May 2024 JAAPA issue.

Post Graduate Clinical Training
Summary: We’ve all been asked to explain what a PA is, and then probably received the follow-up question of “do you need to go back to school? Or complete a residency or fellowship?” We all have our spiels ready. But the landscape as it pertains to PA fellowships is changing. For this episode, we were joined by Maura Polansky, Bart Gillum, Jon Messing, and Max Rooney as they discussed their recent JAAPA publication: “Describing the landscape of integrated clinical education programs for PAs and NPs.

Customer Reviews
Great Synopsis of Topics
The hosts provide great review of the articles. I enjoyed the past host and feel the new hosts are doing a great job. Keep up the good work!
Motivates me to do my CME test each month!
Thanks this is very helpful and gets me to find and open my JAAPA, and make the most of the substantive CME there!
One of the best!
I’m a huge fan of podcasts and have tried to keep abreast of PA podcasts as they arrive on the scene. This past year of listening to the JAAPA Podcast solidifies it’s spot in my mind as one of the best. The hosts are articulate, succinct, and easy to listen to on a run, in the kitchen, or on the road. I’m starting PA school in two weeks (!!) and hope to someday have written an article they discuss, be a contributor on air myself, or both! Thanks for all the hard work - it doesn’t go unnoticed.
