Where to Buy Your New Scrubs

If you were planning on purchasing a new pair of scrubs soon and you can't decide if the Grey's Anatomy brand made your butt look too big or you just didn't want to spend all the money buying new ones period, look no further.

FIGS (Fashion-Inspired-Global-Sophistication) offers scrubs for men and women and will donate a set of scrubs to a healthcare provider in need for every set of scrubs sold. How cool is that?

Clean scrubs reduce the hospital-acquired infection rate by 66%, something we can all take a lesson from, regardless of the country you live in. The medical uniform provides any healthcare member a sense of professional identity and belonging, fostering more caring and committed individuals that take pride in what they do. Any physician assistant knows the value in being part of the team, and what better way to give the opportunity to so many across the world, than by purchasing your scrubs through the Threads for Threads program? Okay, so I got completely sucked in when I saw the video. You should watch it if you haven't.

Seriously, though, buy them for work. Buy them for clinical rotations. Buy them for anatomy.

Tops: $25-30
Bottoms: $30-35

Choosing the Right Physician Assistant School

Choosing the Right Physician Assistant School
Updated: 08/08/2015
By December of 2012, there were 168 PA programs nationwide. At the update of this article, there are currently 196 ARC-PA accredited accredited programs listed in the PAEA program directory, 8 of which are on probation, and 22 currently in development.

It’s up to you to decide which program you will graduate from, but there are several characteristics you might use to help you decide between programs, especially when programs have so much similarity in what they offer.

I suggest you use the PAEA program directory as a guide to help you search for schools in your area or state. Some students have found that the most reliable way to search for programs was to go through the CASPA website directly, but not all programs participate in CASPA. They have a page of all participating programs, here. It includes the direct links to the individual program websites, each program's application deadline, and whether or not each program requires a supplemental application and the respective costs. Other students have used PAed.com because you can search by area and see a list of prerequisites before even going to the school website.
