elevit3 Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 Hello, I am a student at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign and am planning to become a PA but do not know which of the 5 schools (I don't plan on going to Malcom X) would best fit my personality and my learning style. In terms of how I would like the learning style to be: - not too fast paced or hard to keep up in where I will feel drained and very stressed out. I have anxiety disorder so I'm trying to find a school where the class and assignment schedule is balanced and not hard enough where I will be ripping my hair out. -for there to be opportunities to practice what I learn in an interactive setting, whether it be computer-based or face-to-face interaction with my peers and teachers. --I would also like the school to have ample resources to where I can get help needed for something and that will allow me to be successful Again, for me one of the most important points is for the curriculum to not be so fast-paced, overwhelming since I have anxiety disorder and easily get stressed out. Thank you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mcfarlancj11 Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 If you get easily stressed out there is no PA school that is a good fit for you. PA school is extremely difficult, fast paced, and overwhelming. The medical field can be this way too. If you become a PA your patients will need you to stay calm and be very knowledgeable and you cannot become knowledgeable with a slow paced "easy" curriculum. I am not trying to be rude I am just trying to help you figure out what it is you should do. Going to a PA school that does not have a challenging curriculum would be a disservice to you and would make it VERY difficult for you to pass the PANCE, get liceneced, and become a good PA. Hope this helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elevit3 Posted January 25, 2014 Author Share Posted January 25, 2014 So if I do get easily stressed out, should I rethink going to PA school and becoming a PA in general? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BARONEUS Posted January 26, 2014 Share Posted January 26, 2014 What does everyone call it?...........?......let me think.......oh yea, a troll. You cant befor real. That's what I was thinking. I've seen this post (and associated f/u reply) like 5 times now. That's after I waste 20 minutes replying, and even looked up a book ISBN for this bridge-dweller.
