David Gavin PA-C I love your site! Im recertifying soon and your site is so incredibly helpful. Ive been a PA in a niche area for most of my career, so recertifying is always an issue. Thank goodness I found your site!! Kimberly Bastible, MS, PRA-C Stephen, I want to thank you for creating the Podcast and of course the academy website. I just took my Panre for the 2nd time and I passed. I cant thank you enough for your creativity, humor, and innovation when creating such great tools for all of us. I have been a PA for 13 years and I was so worried about the PANRE given that now I have 2 small kids, have a coaching business, and work full time as a PA as well. I listened to your podcasts daily for 3 months. I did your tests on the academy and I am so grateful for how refreshing your programs are. If you ever need a testimonial somewhere else please contact me. Of course I will recommend your program to everyone. Big hug and big thanks from a happy fellow PA. Sincerely, gina Gina, PA-C Im a PA student graduating in December and taking my PANCE about 4 weeks from now. Your website has become one of my favorite study tools, so thanks for all your work in putting that together! Caitlin Anderson, PA-S I took my PANRE and I passed! I really liked your review website. It was very helpful. I only wish I would have discovered it months ago, while preparing for the PANRE. This is my 4th time passing in my career, and I now qualify for not having to recert until 10 years from now. Thank God! but will remember your site and recommend it to others. Thanks again, Maureen Maureen Kilrain PA-C Dear Stephen, I just want to take a moment and let you know how much I appreciate your website and the resources that you have made available to us. As I started preparing for my PANRE I realized it was going to take more than just reading the NCCPA blueprint topic areas. For the last 6 years I focused on being a mom and I chose to push the pause button on my PA career. I am thrilled to say that I passed my PANRE and this was possible because of your question style reviews and testing. This has been my favorite method to prepare for recertification. Ive taken the PANRE 3 times in the last 20 years and this time around I would not have been ready without thePAlife. Thank you for creating a great site thats affordable!!
