Why do you want to be a PA?

I always knew I wanted to go into the medical field, but I was never sure of exactly what I wanted to do. After going through medical adversity and seeing members of my family go through medical adversity, I knew I wanted to be a provider. I want to help others and have an impact on their lives. The PA profession allows me to do this as well as having a work life balance.

Why did you choose Presbyterian College PA Program?

I loved how tight niche the program was and knowing how much the professors want you to succeed. I also really enjoyed the concept of having a smaller class size.
