On average, PA programs are 2 years long. The first year is spent in the classroom where students expand their medical knowledge in subjects like anatomy, physiology, biochemistry, pharmacology, and microbiology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The second year is clinic-based. PA schools require students to complete an average of 2,000+ hours of clinical rotations where they\u2019ll gain hands-on experience in emergency medicine, family medicine, pediatric medicine, internal medicine, and more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to prepare for PA school<\/h2>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.picmonic.com\/wp-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/educators-engage-students-in-the-classroom-1024x576.webp\" alt=\"classroom with teacher and students\" class=\"wp-image-27924\" style=\"width:412px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.picmonic.com\/wp-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/educators-engage-students-in-the-classroom-1024x576.webp 1024w, https:\/\/cdn.picmonic.com\/wp-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/educators-engage-students-in-the-classroom-300x169.webp 300w, https:\/\/cdn.picmonic.com\/wp-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/educators-engage-students-in-the-classroom-768x432.webp 768w, https:\/\/cdn.picmonic.com\/wp-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/educators-engage-students-in-the-classroom-1536x864.webp 1536w, https:\/\/cdn.picmonic.com\/wp-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/educators-engage-students-in-the-classroom-370x208.webp 370w, https:\/\/cdn.picmonic.com\/wp-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/educators-engage-students-in-the-classroom-270x152.webp 270w, https:\/\/cdn.picmonic.com\/wp-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/educators-engage-students-in-the-classroom-570x321.webp 570w, https:\/\/cdn.picmonic.com\/wp-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/educators-engage-students-in-the-classroom-740x416.webp 740w, https:\/\/cdn.picmonic.com\/wp-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/educators-engage-students-in-the-classroom.webp 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>Preparation is the key to success in PA school!

Follow these tips to ensure you\u2019re ready to hit the ground running from your very first day at PA school.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Brush up on the basics<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Nailed down your prerequisites? Great! Don\u2019t forget to brush up on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.picmonic.com\/pricing\/medical-terminology\">medical terminology<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.picmonic.com\/pricing\/prehealth\">anatomy<\/a>, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.picmonic.com\/pathways\/pharmacy\/courses\/standard\/pharmacology-3775\">pharmacology<\/a> before you start PA school. These are amongst the most challenging, in-depth subjects you\u2019ll encounter and need to know throughout your program.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Build your mental stamina<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>It takes time to get back in the swing of things. Whether you\u2019re returning from an exciting summer vacation or some brief time off, prepare to learn <strong>before <\/strong>the first day of PA school. Prime your brain with concise reading sessions from a textbook, a set of flashcards, or YouTube videos covering need-to-know medical facts.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Start your routine now<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Before PA school, you should have a set weekly routine. Grab your favorite planner and get a schedule going for class, study time, exercise, daily chores, and everything in between. Building habits takes time, and you won\u2019t have much of it when you start school. So, start now!&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Try out these additional <a href=\"https:\/\/www.picmonic.com\/pages\/5-helpful-tips-pas-school\/\">5 helpful tips for success<\/a> as a PA student.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">PA study habits to establish&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignright size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"570\" height=\"567\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.picmonic.com\/wp-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/studying-annoying1.jpg\" alt=\"books\" class=\"wp-image-27254\" style=\"width:192px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.picmonic.com\/wp-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/studying-annoying1.jpg 570w, https:\/\/cdn.picmonic.com\/wp-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/studying-annoying1-300x298.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cdn.picmonic.com\/wp-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/studying-annoying1-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/cdn.picmonic.com\/wp-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/studying-annoying1-370x368.jpg 370w, https:\/\/cdn.picmonic.com\/wp-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/studying-annoying1-270x269.jpg 270w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 570px) 100vw, 570px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>You may think you know how to study, but it\u2019s a different ballgame here. Walk through how to study in PA school with us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Stay organized<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>You wouldn\u2019t leave milk out of the fridge, would you? Keep things organized and in their rightful place beyond just your home life. For example, physical or digital notes are necessary and helpful in PA school as long as they\u2019re neatly and smartly organized. Create a labeled or color-coded system to organize your notes and keep them easily accessible. Your future self will thank you for it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Avoid distractions<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Create or find a space you feel comfortable studying in. If you love to study in an active environment, make sure it isn\u2019t too loud or distracting. You need to keep calm, focused, and ready to learn. Try out a few places to find which works best for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Experiment with new study methods<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Diversifying your study routine keeps things fresh and fun. If your go-to study method is starting to get old, try something new. Methods like memory palaces, mnemonics, diagrams, or concept maps are great to use in PA school. Who knows? You may find a new favorite study method that surprises you.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Tips for studying in PA school<\/h2>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignright size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"391\" height=\"391\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.picmonic.com\/wp-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/before-step-1-plan-1.jpg\" alt=\"before step 1 plan\" class=\"wp-image-26917\" style=\"width:173px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.picmonic.com\/wp-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/before-step-1-plan-1.jpg 391w, https:\/\/cdn.picmonic.com\/wp-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/before-step-1-plan-1-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cdn.picmonic.com\/wp-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/before-step-1-plan-1-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/cdn.picmonic.com\/wp-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/before-step-1-plan-1-370x370.jpg 370w, https:\/\/cdn.picmonic.com\/wp-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/before-step-1-plan-1-270x270.jpg 270w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 391px) 100vw, 391px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>Now that you\u2019ve got a few study habits down, it\u2019s time to get into the actual studying.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Always start with a challenge<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Focus on what you\u2019re struggling with <strong>first<\/strong>. You need more time in weak areas to learn and master them. It may feel like a hurdle to start with, but you can always take a break if needed. Alternate between your weakest and strongest areas to keep it exciting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Utilize spaced repetition&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Learn it and forget it is a thing of the past. Spaced repetition is a tried and true study method where you review information over increasing intervals of time to improve long-term memory and recall. Bake this in your study routine to maximize your medical knowledge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Keep high-yield PANCE topics top of mind<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>All roads lead to the Physician Assistant National Certifying Examination (PANCE)! As you study throughout school, don\u2019t forget about it. Carve out time to include PANCE questions regularly in your study routine and familiarize yourself with exam questions and material early.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Study tools to use in PA school<\/h2>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"160\" height=\"160\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.picmonic.com\/pages\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Learning-Tools-CENTERED1.png\" alt=\"learning tools\" class=\"wp-image-1620\" style=\"width:154px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.picmonic.com\/pages\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Learning-Tools-CENTERED1.png 160w, https:\/\/cdn.picmonic.com\/pages\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Learning-Tools-CENTERED1-150x150.png 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 160px) 100vw, 160px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>Beyond your textbooks and lecture notes, check out these top tools used by PA students.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Picmonic<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.picmonic.com\/pricing\/physician-assistant\">Picmonic for PA school<\/a> transforms dense medical facts into unforgettable picture mnemonics.
