paproof 72 Posted December 8, 2015 Share Posted December 8, 2015 Sounds like it'd be some great experience for any PA student looking to set themselves apart from other new grads 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Sirpaul1990 75 Posted December 15, 2015 Author Share Posted December 15, 2015 Quite interested, but a current 2nd year student graduating in May. dchampigny, I wish I could offer you the position, but I don't make the rules. Unfortunately, this is a requirement by PA Professional in order to pass the torch off from assistant editor to senior editor, as this is a technically a 2-year commitment. The first year, you are learning the editorial process with the help of your senior editor. The second year, you take over as senior editor and train a new assistant editor to replace yourself when you leave. I hope that this doesn't discourage you from submitting articles to First Rounds. We definitely could use great writers such as yourself to submit content for publication! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
