Hello and welcome to the physician assistant exam review podcast.

This is episode 154 and we're going to be covering hair, nails, and a couple other things.

My name is Brian Wallace. I'm the host and creator here at Physician Assistant Exam Review, and I am thrilled to be here with you today because we are going to be covering dermatology,

not just that we're going to be covering dermatology, but that, honestly, dermatology is not my

favorite thing, even close. But more importantly, we're not just covering the middle facts here. We cover how to think about it, how to study, how to organize your thinking and how to perform on high stakes exams. That's the whole point. I'm a little charged up because we had our first meeting at the February cohort of 33 days to pass the pants last night, had some 40, 50 students on the call and just got some great feedback from them, some great insights, getting people

kicked off, getting people started. So much fun to get to work with students in that capacity

and to see them making progress every single day. Our motto here within the podcast, within our

community, within the 33 days program is to think different, see that you work differently,

so that you score differently so that you score

differently so many people i was just saying today i see on reddit and other places people say

you know i'm struggling i'm not doing well and i've tried everything there is and it's still

not changing anything and it's one of my it's so concerning because it lacks so much imagination

to say i've done everything there is it you, you've done everything you can think of. You've done everything you can, you've, someone else has told you. You haven't done everything there is, right? That's kind of a bold statement to make. And what we do here is try to show you some of those different pieces, some of those different places you could be doing work.

And we do that by breaking down the medical content. So you can recognize it on exams and

organize it while you're studying and avoid some of those common thinking traps, some of those

common mistakes. So if you're working really hard and you can't figure out what the problem is,

this podcast is for you.

This is the place to start.

This is the place where we go through all of that material and we do it in a way that hopefully moves the needle for you.

This week we're going to start with our priming questions and jump right into the, to the material.

We always do five priming questions at the beginning of every show.

That way we can sort of anchor our thoughts to where we're going, what we're talking about, where we're moving.
