#PhysicianAssistant #PAStudent #PrePA #PAStartup How often do we get to ask Program Directors questions and get transparent answers? NOT OFTEN, so this episode will knock your socks off!! Mike Huckabee, Ph.D. PA-C is the Program Director at the Mayo Clinic PA Program and a personal friend. In today’s episode we have unique access to his thoughts on pre-PA/PA applicants, application process, and more! Dr. Huckabee offers great insight to the thoughts of a Program Director and applications committee–how important are essays, course load, what the applications committee is really looking for…this episode has a TON of great info for new/repeat applicants. Seriously–I can’t thank Mike enough for his time and insight!
