Pearls -- All purpose  

•  Try at all times to not put down any other members of the healthcare team.

•  Take ownership of your PA school experience and future PA profession. Be an active part of the profession by using AAPA and SAAAPA Web sites for info on what is going on in the Academy.

•  Check out issues relevant to the PA practice and learn about resources that are useful to future and practicing PAs. Get involved in the issues you find most pressing!

•  Cooperate, Graduate

•  It's only money

•  It will end!

•  It IS worth it all.

•  You are already in...the hard part is over

•  Make sure you are learning because you want to and not because you need to memorize for an exam. 

•  Involvement is the fundamental avenue for making a difference.  If you want to make a difference in your profession as a PA, become involved in local, regional, state and national organizations.

•  Attend the national conference!  There is no other way to feel great about your profession then be surrounded by thousands of other working PAs and students. 

•  You will gain valuable information that cannot be taught in the classroom by attending the national conference.

•  A great way to make connections with PAs is to attend the national conference and network with everyone there, it could come in useful when job searching!
