In this episode, Emma Sellers sits down with Kelli Hutchens, Assistant Director at the University of Mississippi, to discuss her work guiding students through the PA admissions process. Kelli shares how she developed a specialized pre-course to help pre-PA and pre-med students prepare for their applications, along with the unique challenges aspiring PAs face, such as varying school requirements, competitive timelines, and the need for hands-on patient care experience. She offers practical advice on getting started early, tracking experiences, and building connections for shadowing. Kelli also explores how the complexity of PA admissions can create barriers, particularly for first-generation and underrepresented students, and shares strategies to navigate these obstacles successfully.
This episode is supported by the University of Pittsburgh, School of Health and Rehabilitation Sciences’ Doctor of Medical Science program.
