Meet Jono, a dedicated physician assistant from Washington who embarked on the challenging journey of PA school as a young father.
With one daughter at the start and two more by graduation
Jono faced overwhelming pressure. Juggling family responsibilities while feeling like a weak candidate, he often heard the phrase 'drinking from a fire hose' to describe the onslaught of complex medical concepts.
Each time he glanced at a daunting PowerPoint presentation, anxiety would creep in, making him feel unequipped for the future in medicine.
Determined not to let the culture of medicine defeat him or his peers, Jono found solace in a single piece of advice from a professor:
handwrite his notes to truly learn the material.
Taking this advice to heart, he meticulously crafted his own notebooks, accommodating close to 600 pages filled with 900 illustrations, aimed at helping students navigate the intricacies of medical concepts.
By the time he reached the end of his program, Jono not only succeeded in PA school but also served as class president and directed student-run clinics.
His journey inspired him to create a comprehensive board review course tailored specifically for future PA students.
With the goal of fostering critical thinking and clinical reasoning from the get-go, Jono aims to break the cycle of traditional, rote learning that leaves students feeling overwhelmed.
