Upcoming OSU Pre-PA Mentorship Platform and Student Organization:
Representation matters, and while it is desirable by most to strive to be a flawless Pre-PA undergraduate student and applicant to Physician Assistant school, it is extremely difficult, especially for those students who are first-generation—a term that is used to describe a person who is the first in their family to break barriers, such as finishing high school, or attending college, or applying to PA school. We are here to serve as a foundation for emotional, educational, and resource support for any undergraduate student in order to increase their matriculation into the Physician Assistant profession.
The Ohio State University First-Generation Pre-Physician Assistant Student Organization represents students from underrepresented backgrounds through facilitating an online, Spotify Podcast and Instagram mentorship platform. Here, we encourage vulnerable conversation from Pre-PA students, PA-S’s, and PA-C’s on their personal, non traditional, first-generation journeys into the Physician Assistant profession. By acknowledging the disparities and setbacks that being first-generation has on collegiate students, this organization has proven that what once seemed impossible, is now becoming reality for first-generation students everywhere.
Please join us as our first podcast episode release will feature @ThePAPlatform one of the most viral and successful Pre-PA mentors, PA-C Savannah Perry, who has reached over 100,000 followers on her Instagram, Tik Tok, and Spotify platforms.
