On the Pre-PA Club podcast, I was able to interview Nina Wojtowicz, a 25-year-old first-year PA student at Nova Southeastern University. She shared detailed her path to becoming a physician assistant (PA), starting from her early decision to pursue this career at around the age of 13.
Nina, discusses her motivations, the challenges she faced, and the strategic steps she took in applying to PA schools. She highlights the importance of gaining diverse experiences, such as her roles as a scribe and medical assistant, and starting a pre-PA club at her university when she found none.
We delve into the significance of being well-prepared for the application process, the benefits of a public health background, and taking a gap year to strengthen her application.
