PA Next Steps - Interview with Jordan Fisher, PA-C

What happens after PA school? No one really teaches us that - finding jobs, contracts, negotiations, finances (with a real paycheck!). Jordan Fisher, author of @panextsteps, is on the podcast today sharing his story. He took a gap year, did the PA school thing, and now practices as an urgent care PA in Colorado, but he's taken advantage of lateral mobility and we discuss the importance of networking to land those positions. Listen now on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or at your favorite podcast spot.

Also, he has given us a sweet discount code for his PA Next Steps eBook - use THEPAPLATFORM for 30% off (which only makes it $7!) at panextsteps.com

What's your biggest concern about what happens after PA school?

Ithaca College PA Program Director - Susan Salahshor

What makes up your ideal program? Small class size, truly holistic admissions, passionate faculty, a focus on diversity in class and patient care - does any of that sound good!

Today on The Pre-PA Club podcast (listen on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and The PA Platform website!) I'm joined by program director, Dr. Susan Salahshor, to learn about the new Ithaca College PA program and hear her story. With experience in 10 different specialties, leadership, and academics, we're talking about the whole package! I'm truly impressed by the support and focus of this program.

**Sidenote! - The application for the class that starts in August 2021 is still open until June 7 and there are still spots! This is an amazing opportunity, especially for reapplicants or students who have flexibility to pick up and go. The app is through the Ithaca College website. CASPA will open for next years class on July 1.
