THE PRE-PA WORKBOOK

A step-by-step guide through the physician assistant application process.

Stop wondering what you should be doing and when. The Pre-PA Workbook walks you through the application process with the timelines, prompts, checklists, and trackers I wish every future PA had from day one.

  • Cycle-by-cycle checklist: what to do in January vs. April vs. July, mapped to CASPA's real timeline.

  • Personal statement brainstorm: the 12 prompts that surface the moment your essay should be about.

  • Hours tracker: patient-care, shadowing, volunteer, and leadership pages so nothing falls off your CASPA.

  • School-list worksheet: how to build reach / target / safety using the real numbers.

Starting at $20/month

You've Googled "how to apply to PA school" for the fortieth time this week.

If any of these feel familiar, the Workbook is the thing you're actually looking for. It's the same scaffold our coaches walk students through in a strategy session, yours to keep.

01 · Confirm the PA path is yours

Every thread contradicts the last one. You don't know whose advice is worth taking and whose is from a sophomore with a 2.9.

02 · Navigate the process with confidence

You're solving Tuesday's problem (hours) and missing what should have started in March (letters of rec, school list).

03 · Find your weak areas

PCE hours guessed at, sGPA un-calculated, recommenders un-asked. You'd ace a quiz on CASPA. You just haven't started it.

04 · Build the plan that fixes them

Application opens in a few months. You've outlined a personal statement in your head and on no piece of paper.

Here's the truth: you don't have a motivation problem. You have a scaffold problem. The Workbook is the scaffold.

"If I could give every Pre-PA student in my inbox one thing before they started their application, it'd be this workbook. Honestly. It's the closest thing to walking through a strategy session by yourself."
