Day In the Life of a Physician Assistant- Surgery Day

[@georgetteweamie2972]

As a pre-PA student, it is very difficult to find videos like this to learn from. I am so glad you started this. Love your first video. hope you can teach us more. btw, you are really pretty.

[@Wordy95]

georgette weamie Jenny Lee also has residency videos

Thank you!!

We need another day in the life Kendra; Videos like these are raw as fuck and soooo motivating to aspiring pa's. If only you knew how many lives and mindsets you've changed just by posting this video; so I personally think you should do these daily. Hearing about it is one thing but seeing it just gives me butterflies in my stomach... if only you knew lol

I constantly keep coming back to this video.

[@LightningOW]

Was so dead set on med school never had the time to sit and learn about PAs. Been doing that for the past couple months and this vid was super eye opening! had no idea how PAs assist in surgery and i’ve always been conflicted on specializing between EM and Gen Surg as an MD!!! One of the best surg PA vids on YT rn

[@itsKendraLynne]

Thank you so much!! 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

[@carlosmendieta3752]

I love it, you should show all your classes taken! And gives advice on how to be success! I will love that

[@klcee030]

I don’t see many female pa youtubers ~made me feel motivated for the future ^^ Question- do you ever feel like people degrade you as a pa as compared to an md?

[@itsKendraLynne]

Hi! Thank you for watching!! No one is ever really "degrading". Some people prefer to see the physician rather than the PA and that's fine with me, to each their own. I usually just nicely inform the patient that I am in direct contact with the physician and my treatment plan would be the same as theirs and usually they are okay with seeing me afterwards. It's all about demeanor and confidence :)

[@terrielsayed8395]

I actually preferred to see my Dr's PA, he seemed to spend more time with and answered most of my questions. If he didn't know the answer he would be honest, but then get back to me. I was always disappointed when after 3 visits I had to see the Dr., lol . I appreciate them both though.

[@bradenminteer]

I love how real and informative your videos are. Keep the surgery videos coming.

[@EdotDomo]

Great video! I'm pre-PA student and enjoyed watching. I work at the same hospital in the ER and have shadowed the PAs and hope to one day work in OR as well

[@tedriclolis2872]

Cool video! This was great for people to see what a surgical PA does on a daily basis. I have worked in the operating room for 15 years as a certified surgical tech and now a certified surgical first assistant for the past 8 years.I trained in the Army and I am now trying to get into a PA program. I just applied to 16 PA schools to hopefully start in one next summer. I’m hoping I get at least a couple of interviews! By the way, you were actually running a sub-cuticular stitch on the first mass excision. :) I have helped train many PA’s on suturing techniques in the OR. Now it’s my turn to actually move up in the world and become one! Again great video!

[@exoticgoodz6672]

Must be so fun working with your team!

[@yanca257]

[@jdel617]

love the video! i'm a PA student in my clinical year and I will have done 3 surgery rotations (plastics, ortho & general.) I LOVE the OR! and especially enjoyed plastics! (and you're totally right about ortho clinic..) how soon before your graduation did you apply for jobs?

[@itsKendraLynne]

I graduated in December and started applying in November. I find that if you apply any earlier, most places won't wait until you graduate and also wait for you to take the PANCE unless you have a connection. Yay surgery!! Thank you for watching

[@donstarnutinwonbenutinuhh4224]

Not discounting what a ENT PA does in the OR there are many other surgical positions for PA's and their hours vary greatly. I've been a PA specializing in cardiothoracic and vascular surgery for 13 years. Typically our day starts much earlier and can diversify from OR to CVICU to office to step-down unit care to all those in the same day. Our cases can range from 1-2 hours to 4, 5, 6...8 + hours depending on the case. The important thing to note in this career field is that we are valuable assets that can practice in all areas of medicine, surgery or not, and are pliable with a skillset that allows us to switch between specialties. I have friends that do tons of surgery- ortho, trauma, urology, neurosurgery, etc. and they all work varying schedules. If you are looking into being a PA it's a challenging yet very rewarding field. I absolutely LOVE what I do!

[@itsKendraLynne]

I never said this was what all first assist PAs do. it's a day in MY life as first assist in ENT, so need to "discount" what we do in this field in the OR.

[@donstarnutinwonbenutinuhh4224]

I'm not discounting what any of us does. Like I said our jobs vary greatly depending on the specialty. Perhaps a better title would be 'day in the life of an ENT PA.' Relax, it's all good. I am simply trying to let others know that schedules/specialties can vary greatly.

[@nctzenjeon3425]

I want to become a PA but I have no clue on how I will able to get all those healthcare experience hours to be accepted into PA school without being certified in something such as emt,rn,etc.... 😭 and do you know if majoring in Health Science would be a good choice?

[@itsKendraLynne]

Hey! Health science is great as long as you get all your pre-reqs :) Also, I got my hours as a medical assistant and you don't always have to be certified for those jobs

Hi Kendra, Im also going to school to become a PA. I want to get into Derm but I currently finishing pregrad so I still have some time Im assuming. Do you work in gen derm or endocrine? I noticed you had a thyroidectomy. Any advise to how to decide what specialty I want to get into would be great. I def want surgery. Does it matter what surgical clinical we do if say I did want to get into derm or do you suggest gen surg if I prefer surgery? I look forward to your response. - Veronica
