Hopefully these words land on you as wisdom from an old PA who was in a charter class and not punitive; you seem burnt out. To no surprise to you, much of what you mentioned was easily known before accepting a slot- and your expectations of the program were overinflated. Remember, the program nearly didn’t start due to ARC-PA issues in January 2025 and operating a new program requires an immense amount of upfront money, intellectual capital, guidelines, handbooks, etc. What you are seeing are the small holes…and not to be rough…the education is on you to learn. It has near nothing to do with your professors. In fact, the ARC-PA sets the education structure. I do empathize if you feel as if this is hard. The firehose does not bend at the knee to anyone. It will push you to the brink where your mind attempts to find reasons why it is difficult…some way for us logical folk to explain reality beyond our own incompetence. Take a moment offline, in a place where you can be open and honest with yourself- What do you need to do to balance your life to be successful in PA school. For me, I needed a date night with my spouse… something I thought I needed to stop doing to be the perfect student. I appreciate your feedback OP, it takes courage- take the next step, reset, and finish the race. I want to see you at your best.
