I am in my second year of PA school here in Pittsburgh. I am in my clinical year and am experiencing different specialties of medicine and finally putting all of my skills to use with real patients which is exciting. My electives for my clinical year are in addiction medicine and children’s dermatology. Addiction medicine was quite the experience because I worked in a Methadone clinic which was a side of medicine I hadn’t really seen before. I graduate next June and will probably end up back on the West Coast as I pursue a career and another degree in public health! Fun wise my husband and I recently added a new puppy to our clan and her name is Jaylah!
