 What's up you guys, it's Sedona. All right, so I wanted to give you guys a couple tips, a few websites that you should absolutely be familiar with if you were trying to get into PA school. If you are already in PA school, you should definitely be familiar with these websites as well because they will help you not only get into, but through PA school. And if that motto sounds familiar, keep watching. Let's get into the video right now. What's up you guys, it's Sedona. Welcome back to my channel. Okay, so I wanted to make this really quick video for you guys. I've been talking a lot about, you know, like being a PA, the burnout rate, the easiest schools to get into, kind of like the things that you should be looking at when looking into PA school. And so this video I think is right on par with that is if you are trying to get into PA school, or if you are currently in PA school, these are some websites that you should absolutely be familiar with, okay? So let's get into it. The first website that I wanna talk about is YouTube. Of course, you're watching me here on YouTube. We're listening to me on YouTube. And by far, I think that this is probably one of the best sites that you should absolutely be paying attention to when you're trying to get into PA school and going through PA school. There is a plethora of information about becoming a PA, about what it's like on various different rotations from various different YouTubers, not just me. And so you should probably check out some other channels as well. But that will help you not only understand what you're learning in PA school, but the things that you should probably be studying for when it comes to boards. And if you're a pre-PA student, it gives you all of the information about how to get into PA school. And so that is why YouTube is very, very, very beneficial to you as either a pre-PA student or a PA student, because it will help you not only get into, but through PA school. And just like YouTube, shameless plug, I think you should absolutely join, get that to university. This is my website that I created just not too long ago, about a little over almost two years now, actually, coming up in a month. And in this website, you'll find information on what it's like to be a PA through our virtual shadowing aspects of the site. You can learn medical Spanish, which is imperative when you're trying to become a PA. I am using it myself, because I need to be able to communicate what I wanna say to my patients that are Spanish speaking when I wanna say it without using the translator, because sometimes it gets lost in translation. So definitely check the website out. There's also opportunities for you to get pre-PA kind of consultation sessions, as well as personal statement reviews. And so those are things, those are, I guess you could say, those are various different services that we provide that you can actually take advantage of without becoming a member. But by all means, it's really just a good opportunity for you to become a member, to kind of be around a community of people that are doing the same thing or trying to get to the same goal that you're trying to get to. So check out Get That See University. Another website that you should absolutely be familiar with is AAPA. So AAPA is our national organizations website. This is where you go to get all of the news about what's happening in the PA world, okay? So all of the various different legislation, if you're trying to go to AAPA's conference where we get all of our CME, I know that as a PA student we went, but as a PA student, I met some pre-PA students there as well, which I thought was brilliant because they got to kind of like mingle with future colleagues in a sense, because they got to see and learn about the PA profession, learn from PAs, and it was really beneficial for them. So if you're interested in becoming a PA for sure, definitely go to AAPA.org. You will have all of the information that you need on what a PA is, what a PA does, straight from the sorts, and you'll also be able to kind of tap into some of the information like PA history and those different things, okay? So that is the third website that I absolutely think you should be familiar with if you are either trying to be a PA from the pre-PA end or from a PA student end. The next website that you should be very familiar with is PAEA, okay, PAEAonline.org. Now PAEA online is the PA Education website. Now I've used PAEA on various different videos that I've gone through. They have the kind of directory of all of the various different PA schools that are currently like in existence. And there you can see like who requires what when it comes to GPA or GRE. You can see like when their deadlines are for applications. Those are things that are very, very important when you're trying to get into PA school as a pre-PA student, but also as a PA student, PAEA is very good for you as well because you can go and you can look on that website to see what is new in PA education. You can find out about the pants and you can find out about the blueprint and all of those various different things because those things are kind of what you're looking forward to. And so that is a website to be very familiar with and keep up with because they're always putting information out about PA education. And there are also opportunities for like leadership positions as a PA student and as a post grad student when you're like into education, okay, and you wanna know or teach others more about PA education. So definitely be aware of PAEAonline.org, okay? Another website that you should absolutely be familiar with and I love this website. It's one of my favorite websites that I kind of continuously go back to to get information from, but also I used it a lot when I was in PA school and I used it post PA school to study for my boards. And that is Ross Reviews. So Ross Review has various different Q-Banks for PA students and pre-PA students now and PAs, right? And so it's really important when you're in those various different stages of your PA career, you can always tap back into Ross Reviews. So as a pre-PA student, Ross Review is very beneficial to you because what it allows you to do is tap into your kind of your pre-PA Q-Bank, right? So the Q-Bank for your PA cat, because Ross Review has partnered with the PA cat to provide a Q-Bank of questions so that you can study for the PA cat. But also there's a Q-Bank for you to just kind of study from when you're in that limbo of going from pre-PA student to PA student. When you just need a refresher course, Ross Review has a Q-Bank for that as well. It has all of the things in anatomy. And it's really, really beneficial because when you get into PA school you're gonna need to know your anatomy. As a PA student, Ross Review is beneficial because they have tons of board review stuff and tons of Q-Banks. So when you're on rotations and you're trying to get your EORs together and you're studying for them, Ross Review has Q-Banks for that. When you're just in PA school and you're studying for a particular section that you're learning in your, whatever it's called for you in terms of when you're learning like the medicine of becoming a PA, Ross Review has lots of Q-Banks for that as well. And then obviously when you're already like a PA and you need to now recertify, Ross Review has Q-Banks for you to study for your boards. And so it's really all-encompassing in your full spectrum of PA life. And so it is truly like a diamond in the rough when it comes to helping you get through PA school and into PA school and obviously post-PA school. Another website that you should be familiar with is NCCPA. All right, so NCCPA is the certification website for the PA profession. That's where you go to actually like order, I guess you could say your boards pay for it and do all of those things with respect to preparation for your boards. They also have kind of a test, like a practice test, two of them I believe it is, that you can use to study for your boards and anything with respect to certification or recertification, it goes through NCCPA. So when you need to keep track of all of the CMEs that you're accruing because you need CMEs as a PA each year, you have to accrue a certain number of CMEs to keep up with your license and your certification. So for that NCCPA is the place that you would go to get that, but that is another website that you should absolutely be familiar with because it is beneficial to you, okay? So keep that in your back pocket. And last but not least, if you are a pre-PA student you should absolutely be familiar with CASPA. Now CASPA is our central application site. This is where you go if you are trying to apply to PA school, especially a PA school that is participating with CASPA and the majority of PA schools are. So you would fill out one application on the CASPA website and then you would be able to disperse that one application out to the various different programs that you are interested in. And so if you do not know about CASPA just yet and now is your introduction to it you should absolutely be familiar with this website. Go there now even if you're not ready to apply to PA school, look around and get familiar with it. On the website you can also find all of the various different participating programs that are currently participating with CASPA for either that particular year or depending on where you're at in the cycle maybe even the next year. And on that list it will have all of the schools their specific deadlines, those that are already in development and then those that are being developed. And so like your newer programs will be at the bottom of the list. So be sure to check out CASPA because it is a site that you should be familiar with especially if you're trying to get into PA school. All right, so that is my quick list for you.
