Virtual Shadowing with Jourdyn - ER PA

Can you put virtual shadowing hours on CASPA? Yes. But schools weigh it differently, so don't assume every program will count it the same way. Check with the ones on your list. This episode is a virtual shadowing session with Jourdyn, an emergency medicine PA and one of our coaches. She walks through real cases from the ER and talks through how she actually thinks - what she's ruling out, what she's asking, how she decides what happens next. Emergency medicine is fast and loud and nothing like TV. Jourdyn is honest about the pace, the teamwork, and how much of the job is communication rather than procedures. If you've only ever imagined yourself in the ER, this will either confirm it or save you some time. What we cover: Whether virtual shadowing counts on your CASPA application Real ER cases and how she worked through them What a full patient evaluation looks like in emergency medicine Communication and teamwork when everything's moving fast What surprises people most about the ER How to get shadowing hours when nobody will let you in the building Resources: Free Resume Download: https://www.thepaplatform.com/services/free-resume-download Free PA School Application Timeline: https://www.thepaplatform.com/services/free-application-timeline Pre-PA Counseling: https://www.thepaplatform.com/services/pre-pa-counseling Pre-PA Academy: https://prepaclub.thepaplatform.com/landing/academy Mentioned in this episode: CapYear Training Get $200 Off CapYear Academy Looking to boost your clinical experience this summer?
