Hometown: Willard, Missouri
College/University Attended: University of Missouri - Columbia
Undergraduate Major: Health Sciences
Why did you choose to attend the UMKC Master of Medical Science Physician Assistant Program?

I was born and raised in Missouri, so I really wanted to attend schools in state for both my undergraduate and master’s degrees. Two schools in the University of Missouri system ended up being my perfect matches. And because I did attend Mizzou, a partner institution, for my undergraduate degree, I was also able to take advantage of the PA Scholars Program that UMKC offers. It was a unique opportunity for me to apply to PA school during my senior year of college and get accepted a year early. Because of this, I was able to finish my senior year stress free, as I knew exactly where I was going after graduation. In addition, I really appreciated UMKC’s dedication to looking at the applicant holistically; I think it helps the school to get the best prospects to apply each year.

What have you enjoyed most about your experience at UMKC?

I have really enjoyed the small class size, as getting to know all my classmates has been amazing. We all come from such different backgrounds and experiences, so we all have different contributions to make to the class. I was unsure what to expect from a graduate level cohort, but since there are only 20 of us, we have become very close. They are the only ones that know what this experience is like, and we have become such a great support system for each other during this process. The small class size has also allowed us to get the most from our professors as well. They are able to dedicate their time and talents to making sure we become the best version of ourselves. They always have an open-door policy and really are here to help us succeed.

Why are you pursuing a career as a Physician Assistant?

I believe that PAs have the ability to impact patients in a way that other providers might not be able to. This career provides a unique opportunity to be able to interact and care for patients while still providing high-level medical knowledge. I have always been drawn to the balance that PAs have between medicine and patient interaction. In practice, I hope to develop a patient-provider bond that will allow me to impact my patients in more ways than one. I also want to provide quality care that is easily accessible by all and, by becoming a PA, I can do that. All this can be done within the confines of a team of providers, which I think is the best way to practice. I pursued this degree to be able to help the most people in the shortest amount of time. To go to school for 2.5 years and graduate as a competent, caring provider is something that you cannot find in many other professions. Upon graduation, hopefully a job will not be hard to find, so I know that what I have learned here at UMKC will be put to good use right after graduation.
