CaliPAHopeful Posted July 10, 2016 Share Posted July 10, 2016 I had a draft posted here, but it was pretty terrible, so I got rid of it. In its place, I'm leaving a question. Is it better to have the story center around myself, and my journey to higher education and how that lead me to the PA profession, or from a specific event with a patient?

jlumsden Posted July 12, 2016 Share Posted July 12, 2016 Either are fine. Focusing on one event, with one patient, risks leaving out other parts of your life that showcase your skills. Spend the space in your essay describing why you would be a good fit (e.g. you are very empathetic, or you have become well respected at your job as an x ray tech), and illustrate/prove those points with patient stores (e.g. you were empathetic toward a patient in the ED, despite the fact he was being watched by police en route to jail; or, you are respected as an x ray tech because you consistently pick up wrist bone fractures that others do not notice).
