Hippo Education’s PA faculty have not only been in your shoes, but also have decades of experience precepting students.
We know the weekend between rotations is stressful and that a year full of “first days” can be exhausting.
Don’t just survive your rotations, but thrive with us!
Ease your "first day anxiety" by hearing the nuances of each core rotation and common missteps students make. We also reveal veteran tips to impress your preceptor and take exceptional care of your patients.
Get the free show notes that include helpful tables, diagrams, and resources to build your confidence for your first day and beyond. We help you prepare for not only your core rotations, but your PANCE and first job as well.
We cover the topics to prepare you for life after graduation, and provide the support you need each day as you balance the challenges of your clinical year.
It’s just great to have those few clinical pearls heading into my first day. I love how you have clever ways of remembering stuff like "head-shoulders-knees-and-toes" for childhood development! I’ll definitely be listening to these before all my rotations!
