Hey Mario, super encouraged to come across a fellow Christian in PA school! My husband & I have also been reminded of God's provision & mercy during my PA school journey (including getting into a super crazy car accident on our move a couple days before starting my program in SoCal). May the Lord continue to bless you + your wife & keep your eyes fixed on Him for His glory & your good!
Viktoriya thank you so much for kind words! This PA journey has tested our faith in ways I was not expecting but it's been an opportunity for the Lord to just show up in our lives and allow us to fully rely on him. I hope there were no major injuries from that car accident! My wife and I will keep you and your family in our prayers. Hope all is well amiga and thank you for watching!
i’m currently a Pre-PA student and so glad i came across your channel. Inspiring! Turns out i’m from around your home city and i saw your ER rotation video recently and saw you had worked at LLUMC 🙏 i’m currently there too! it’s amazing seeing another person that’s like me, that is in the field I want to be in 💪🏽 thank you brotha
Hermano! Thank you for watching and commenting! Please don't hesitate to reach out with specific questions about this process. It's a long road but a worthwhile one. Working in the LLUMC ED is by far one of the best patient care experiences out there and I have no doubt you'll become a competitive candidate! You can reach me on IG @themexicanpa or via my email themexicanpa@gmail.com Saludos!
I was accepted for a spring 2025 admission to my local university (in kinesiology). 2020 taught me that failure is not the end of the world. I’ve taken some courses recently but I decided I wanted to become the first PA-C of my family. GPA’s are not my strongest but I’m dedicated to doing the best I can to get into the program. I’m currently a medsurg CNA and have learned a lot within my job about surgery and post surgery work for the patients I see. This video and more is making me more confident each time I watch them!!
“Through the direct provision of God”…….👍. My daughter is currently an undergrad at UC Davis who is planning on attending PA school. I shared this video with her. Thank you.
I am debating PA school but don't want to fail out from the sheer amount of course material at once :/ got a BS in global disease bio from davis last year but have been hesitant to apply bc of severe imposter syndrome. Also, I am loving the temple coffee roasters cup!!
Hermano/a…you are capable of getting through and becoming a PA-C! The imposter syndrome is something I experience daily - but it’s through experiencing difficult, uncomfortable, and often stressful situations that our growth as medical providers happens! The Mario that was once nervous and anxious about taking a manual blood pressure on my first real patient as an EMT is the same Mario now that is responsible for reading an EKG or prescribing the correct antibiotic! I still get nervous, but recognize that medicine is ultimately a team sport and everyone is learning and growing as we progress through each patient encounter, class, course, and job! The more important thing to ask yourself that can’t be taught - are you passionate about caring for others and are you committed to being a lifelong learner? If you can answer yes to both…you can become a PA. I highly recommend you check out this video, in the middle part I interview one of my classmates who mentions his fear of failing out of PA school: ruclips.net/video/VfXfw9xYNFM/видео.htmlsi=2koIfRN7GOyRntn6 I hope it helps. Animo! 👨🏻⚕️🇲🇽🤝🏼
@@themexicanpa exactly! Thanks for this inspiring message! I am also an emt. Been one for 1.5 years and took my program with the UCD fire academy two years ago. The main thing is handling the course load bc undergrad was hard for me aswell. Do you possibly do private mentoring to get an acceptance into PA school?
@@TrainingIsBelievingYou're very welcome hermano! At this time - I am at max capacity with my active mentees. I do offer affordable consulting services (prices start at $40 bucks, and the money I make from this I am using to pay for my PA licensing/exam fees and reinvest it back into growing this youtube channel.) If you're interested in signing up for a session, you can do so here: calendly.com/themexicanpa I look forward to meeting you!
Looking back, it would’ve been ideal to get settled in earlier but God had perfect timing and He still does❤ He always provides and will continue to. Animo chiquillo, thanks for this encouragement 😘
I watched this and the one en español, and all I can say is: you're truly inspirational. Thank you for sharing your experience. I'm also applying to UC Davis next cycle.
Hey Mario, I appreciate all the effort you put into your videos. You have me laughing, lol. Do you mind sharing your interview experience with UC Davis? I have an interview with them and would love to hear your insights.
I imagine you already had your interview with UCD and my apologies for not reach out sooner! Congratulations on getting that interview and if you already had it…I hope it went well! If you haven’t, I do offer affordable 1 on 1 mock interview sessions. You can sign up here: calendly.com/themexicanpa/consulta Saludos! 👨🏻⚕️🇲🇽
@@themexicanpa I definitely will, really appreciate all the vids, they are packed with a ton of value, I have the study ones saved because your methods seemed on point.
I'm a dreamer and ATSU university just opened a campus in California in my city. They simply told me they do not accept DACA students which is sad since I can get a PA license in California. I'm happy to see our hispanics are now doing amazing in healthcare. Just wish they gave us a chance. 😔
Hola hermano! The UCD PA program is not cheap. 🫠 Roughly around 240k Here’s the link to the program’s financial aid cost of attendance: health.ucdavis.edu/financialaid/coa-son.html That being said, I was blessed to get a scholarship that covered about 90% of my tuition and living expenses. Here’s the link to that: nhsc.hrsa.gov/scholarships/overview Saludos!
What's up Freddie! For didactic, I highly recommend making Anki cards based off your own instructor's powerpoints! For clinicals, send me a dm at themexicanpa@gmail.com and I will share my anki drive with you. Saludos bro!

Amen! From a PA in NYC. All the best!
Very high production quality. I can tell a lot of effort went into this video. I hope it does well. God bless you brother!

I love your videos bro! You speak the full truth with great quality information. This is Putue.
Your best work yet! That skit with you and Jenny was hilarious 😂
También soy mexicana I'm so glad your channel popped up on my feed. I'm finally able to see someone like me who is doing PA. 🇲🇽

Love the re-enactments! You put a lot into this video and it shows!
Very encouraging! thank you! Esp love the praise you gave to God! God bless you!
Just watched a video of another PA student saying it was so easy and you will never study as much as you think. Oh Lord help me 😂😭
I'm a COTA really contemplating switching to PA.
Same for me! Except PTA!
I'm a dreamer and ATSU university just opened a campus in California in my city. They simply told me they do not accept DACA students which is sad since I can get a PA license in California. I'm happy to see our hispanics are now doing amazing in healthcare. Just wish they gave us a chance. 😔
I can only imagine that going
From zero medial background to PA school must be a challenge.
Hi Mario, Is UC Davis PA program expensive?
Hola hermano! The UCD PA program is not cheap. 🫠 Roughly around 240k
Here’s the link to the program’s financial aid cost of attendance: health.ucdavis.edu/financialaid/coa-son.html
That being said, I was blessed to get a scholarship that covered about 90% of my tuition and living expenses. Here’s the link to that: nhsc.hrsa.gov/scholarships/overview

Hi Mario, fresh PA student here would you recommend pre made Anki cards?
What's up Freddie! For didactic, I highly recommend making Anki cards based off your own instructor's powerpoints! For clinicals, send me a dm at themexicanpa@gmail.com and I will share my anki drive with you. Saludos bro!
