I remember when I first started to research the role of a PA and I saw pictures of a group of students in Georgia receiving their white coats and its hard to believe that I am now an individual in this type of picture. It was a terribly difficult journey to arrive and realize my goal but I am so completely and overwhelmingly happy that I chose this path. There were some great words spoken during the ceremony and I have forgotten most of them, ( I think that I should keep a notepad with me to remember the many great words and feelings I receive as I often forget them), but one indiviudal mentioned that with the white coat you are now looked at as someone that knows everything.....mistakes will be made and a lot is asked of you.....The best thing to do is to keep putting the white coat on and TRY YOUR BEST. Good luck to everyone on their journey to receiving entrance into school and obtaining a white coat. Read my ebook (only $2 on scribt.com- link is on blog) any I will answer any individual questions that you may have.
The steps taken to change careers to become a physician assistant, my coursework in PA school, and my path to obtain a job and ultimately have a successful career. I hope my experiences and struggles will help others.

White Coat Ceremony - Physician Assistant
The white coat ceremony for the class graduating in 2013.... Yes I survived the first semester of pa school and was allowed to receive the white coat and continue my education. For those that don't know the history of the white coat, well research it, there is a unique and interesting history of the practitioners white coat. It began not too long ago in the era when individuals began to realize the importance of cleanliness in health care. One can also view their white coat and remember the oath and commitment to quality health care and keeping patient information confidential and starting with a clean slate every time you open the door to see a new patient....
