Prepared for PA Practice
[CORINNE LUMBRAZO] Hi, I'm Corinne. I graduated from the Touro PA program in Middletown, New York in 2024. Prior to going to PA school, I worked as an exercise physiologist, and I really wanted to go to PA school. But there really wasn't much in this area at the time. So when Touro and Middletown opened this program, I applied right away. And I'm so excited that I have finished the program and they offer this to the community.
Something that I liked about this PA program was that we had smaller class sizes. We were able to be one on one with a lot of the staff, and all of us became really close as a class. I was a part of the first program here at Touro. And everyone in my class did pass their PANCE exam. In the last six months, we really prepared for the PANCE by doing exams weekly. And those practice questions really helped when it came to taking the PANCE exam.
This program has a large choice of rotations, and they are very accommodating. They let you pick where you want to go. If you're like, oh, I want to do my rotation in New York City, they would try to help you with that. I actually got my job from one of my rotations that I was on. Cardiology was an elective that I chose. And now I'm working in cardiology. This program works hard to get you into a rotation that you like and that you want. And hopefully, it can get you into your prospective job, like it did for me.
Currently, I work as a cardiology PA in the Middletown area. I do inpatient and outpatient care. Overall, being a new grad, I do feel really prepared and going into the field. The overall PA education prepared me really well to take care of patients. I really love my job right now, and I enjoy what I do every day.
