Hello and welcome to the physician assistant exam review podcast. I know, I know you've always wanted to know about penal disorders. Well, today is your day. We'm the host and creator here at

Position Assistant Exam Review, where I've been behind the mic for almost 15 years, helping students just like you who are feeling lost, struggling, just finding that the information isn't sticking the way that they want it to be.

And we've been doing this now, like I said, for a long time, helping PA students, helping NP students, helping pharmacy students start to organize information in their brains in a way

that makes it available on test date. That's really the goal, right? I was talking with someone,

one of my surgical texts this week,

who was saying when she trains new techs, her goal for them, and she states this clearly,

is to not get kicked out of the room. Let me say that again, her goal for them isn't to do a good

job during the case, not to know everything, not to have every piece of equipment ready. It's to not

get kicked out of the room. Because if you don't get kicked out of the room, if the surgeon doesn't kick you out, it means you get to come back and you get to do a better job next time. And you get to learn and you get to do a better job next time. I said that's exactly how I teach my PA students. The goal number one is to stay in school, right?

If you can't stay in school, right?

If you can't stay in school, the rest of it doesn't matter.

So goal number one has to be stay in school.

Number two is to do amazing on your exams, do the best you possibly can in your exams.

Goal number three is to learn as much as you can.

Then it's passed, then it's graduate, then it's past the pants, then it's become a

practitioner, then it's become a great practitioner, but it's in that order.

So that's a lot of the way that we deal with the information in this particular show.

We do it with that framework in mind.

Like I said, today we're going to do penile disorders.

Hopefully that'll stand out for you.

These shouldn't be too terribly difficult.

But before we talk about that, I just wanted to mention that this is going to be on Wednesday
