She valued the sense of community and family she felt in the postbacc program, finding that it enabled her to succeed to the best of her abilities. She prioritized community when choosing a medical school and has found RowenSOM to be exactly the supportive environment she was looking for.

Her advice to current/future applicants is to choose a program that fits their personal learning style, needs, and values. Going through school will get challenging at times, and if students surround themselves with people, whether it’s their peers, professors, or staff members, they can reach out to and ask for guidance, the challenges will be easier to overcome.

Resources he recommends to students interested in medicine include Magoosh, Khan Academy, and dedicated question banks for MCAT simulation and test prep. For students in medical school, he recommends resources such as Sketchy, Anki, Boards & Beyond, and AMBOSS. There is no "right" path, and committing to a routine combination is more important than integrating all of the available resources. Some topics just require more time than others. Lastly, The Clinical Problem Solvers podcast is a great example of case-based clinical reasoning practice accessible to anyone.

His free time is devoted to guitar, tennis, soccer, family, and friends.

For medical school applicants, Tim recommends that students be open to honest feedback on their writing eg, (personal statement, experiences section, secondary essays) to the point of allowing for complete revisions. “These are your opportunities to draw the admissions committee's eyes to your applications. Do not underestimate the importance of having a strong essay explaining your reasoning for applying to a particular school.”

Dakota is from Dover, Pennsylvania. He participated in a dual degree program hosted by Millersville University and West Chester University, where he received a degree in biology from MU and a degree in athletic training from WCU concurrently. He completed the ACHS postbacc program in 2020 and was accepted in the Philadelphia College of Osteopathic Medicine (PCOM) class of 2025. He is finishing up his second year and preparing for the board exams.

Dakota has a strong interest in orthopedic surgery, and he is an active member of the school's orthopedic surgery club. He also did a research fellowship with the Rothman Orthopedics Opioid Foundation over the summer, where he worked on an analysis that he is currently expanding upon to produce a publishable review paper. Dakota also recently submitted an abstract for the annual meeting of the American Orthopedic Foot and Ankle Society (AOFAS) with a physician with whom he used to work at Orthopedic Associates of Lancaster.

Outside of school, Dakota enjoys going to the gym and staying fit. In the summer, he likes to kayak and hike. He loves TV, particularly HBO shows, but he also enjoys trashy TV, as he’s “gotta keep up with the Kardashians.” He also enjoys a nice glass of bourbon.

When it comes to studying, Dakota has found some resources that work well for him. He recommends the First Aid book, which he calls the "Good Book," as well as Sketchy for bugs and drugs and Pathoma for 2nd-year pathology stuff. He also finds Boards & Beyond to be extremely comprehensive and useful for explaining tough concepts.

Dakota also cautions people entering medical school to wait until they get there to decide what resources to purchase, as upper-classmen may have second-hand materials or be willing to share, and there are often bulk-buying deals available through class organizations. “There wasn't anything I absolutely needed on day one.”

From Horsham, PA, Dianna graduated from Temple University with a BS in neuroscience. She was a member of the 2019-2020 cohort before matriculating into the PA program at Arcadia University as a member of the class of 2023.

Before attending PA school, Dianna was a medical assistant in dermatology and loved the field. However, after her clinical rotations, she has found herself enjoying broader fields such as emergency medicine and in-patient internal medicine (specifically hematology/oncology). One of her goals after graduation and passing the PANCE is to learn and become fluent in medical Spanish.

In her free time, Dianna is a big fan of reality TV and invites anyone who watches The Bachelor or Netflix reality shows to come and chat. She also enjoys traveling and was lucky enough to travel abroad during her clinical year (with enough time to explore Europe!).

For applications, she recommends Kaplan for the GRE. She also recommends talking with mentors (eg, PA students, current PAs) for advice and reading online forums for information from current students when deciding where to apply and where to attend.

For didactic students, DIanna feels that although Osmosis can help for anatomy, it isn’t necessary. She does not recommend a longer subscription based on her experience in her program. Otherwise, she found Complete Anatomy on her iPad to be particularly useful. And she thinks that CramThePance and Pance Prep Pearls are the best supplements later in the didactic and clinical years. For second-year students, she recommends Rosh as the best prep for EOR exams, especially boost exams. She recommends getting together with other students in the cohort to share costs. Finally, she loves Physician Assistant in a Flash podcasts for clinical year rotations.

Kevin is from Cherry Hill, NJ and attended Vanderbilt University, where he graduated in 2019 with a BA in neuroscience. He completed the ACHS postbacc program in 2019-2020 and was then accepted into Robert Wood Johnson Medical School, where he is concluding his third year.

Karyn enjoys going out to eat with friends and spending time with her loved ones. She was advised by one of the medical providers with whom sheI works to have as much fun as she can before the PA program starts!

She recommends the podcast The White Coat Investor to other students pursuing a career in medicine. Targeting medical students, physicians, residents, dentists, physician assistants, etc. it discusses ways to pay off student loans, develop a financial plan, plan for retirement, save money, invest in real estate, and more. Education in medicine is beneficial but it can be expensive. This podcast has been helpful for Karyn as she prepared herself to be financially ready for a PA program.
