Within the field of Cardiology, primary prevention of heart disease is an area that is just MADE for primary care clinicians. What do the guidelines say, and how can PCPs best put them into action with our patients? Academic cardiologist Dr. Stan Liu is back for a helpful primer on the primary and secondary prevention of cardiovascular disease for the PCP.
PA Students, the clinical rotation year is an exciting and challenging time, as you’re finally able to apply all that you’ve learned in the didactic year to real-world patients. On the other hand, this year is also stressful and can feel overwhelming with all the changes and newness.
For over a decade I’ve been on PA faculty, and every year, the start of the clinical year brings up the same emotion in all of my students. I think the proper...
Hippo has been a longtime partner of the Urgent Care Association (UCA), the trade association that represents Urgent Care clinicians and business professionals.

As PA-Cs everywhere are starting the 1st quarter of the new PANRE-LA, we know anxiety is high.

Are you deciding if the PANRE-LA is right for you? Have you already signed up for it? Let the PA team at Hippo Education help you feel confident as we all approach these uncharted waters together.
