The Why and How of Joining the ‘Best Profession in the World’ - Dr. Katie Bean and Dr. Beth Macintire, Co-founders of Pre-PA Clinic

What this episode covers

“We want everybody to be able to be a PA if they have the passion and the drive,” says Physician Assistant Beth Macintire. She and her colleague, Katie Bean – both of whom hold doctorates in medical science – love the profession so much they founded Pre-PA Clinic to offer guidance and mentorship for potential PAs. Tune in as host Shiv Gaglani explores their personal backgrounds, what PrePAClinic.com offers, and why they consider the PA profession to be “literally the best profession in the world.” This lively conversation includes valuable advice for getting into a PA program, specifically, why non-traditional backgrounds are encouraged, and why, as part of an admissions team, they consider failure to be a good thing. Plus, hear their take on the impact of COVID, the importance of gaining patient care experience, and their encouragement to find your deeper ‘why.’ You can also check out their own podcast, Where the White Coats Come Off or their book Secrets, Tips, Tactics & Everything You Need to Know to Get Accepted into PA School.
