It is really crazy to think that I just completed my first year of PA school! It has gone by so quickly... I am now off for many exciting adventures in my clinical year. My first rotation is my "Primary Care" rotation and I am assigned to an Urgent Care in Seattle. I start this upcoming monday... I can't wait! I'm excited and nervous at the same time... a thousand thoughts are going though my mind
"will I remember everything?" "what is a physical exam again?" "I know i've heard the name of that disease... what is it?!"
I'm sure everything will be fine, my preceptor knows this is my first rotation and i'll be happy to remind him of that... :)
Here is a reflection with photos of the last few modules finishing my didactic year, it was such a blast!

I remember going through graduate school a few years ago. It was such a stressful yet rewarding time. Use your brief break to your advantage. Get some much needed rest. You will need it when you go back to continue where you left off. You look like you are having a blast! Keep that spirit about you. You will do great!

Thanks Donette! However, I graduated nearly 2 years now and am currently working in a Trauma center in Scottsdale, AZ.
