Join Trenton Honda, PhD, MMS, PA-C, editor-in-chief for the Journal of PA Education, and co-host Carey Barry, MHS, PA-C, chair and associate clinical professor in the Department of Medical Sciences at Northeastern University, as they chat with Kandi Pitchford, director of outcomes, assessment and capstone at South College; Casey Geiser, PA-C, PA with Hartford Hospital; and Lauren Souza, PA-C, PA with Southern Maine Health Care, about their recent article in JPAE titled "Assessing Student-Reported Perceptions of Prerequisite Usefulness in Preparation for Didactic Physician Assistant Education." Their research explores the perceived disconnect between prerequisite courses and their practical value in PA training. They discuss how popular prerequisites like anatomy and physiology are viewed favorably, while courses like organic chemistry are seen as less useful. This conversation suggests the need for a standardized list of prerequisites that better aligns with PA program demands.
