| 0:00.0 | Hey, what's going on guys, and welcome to episode 76 of the Physician |
| 0:04.6 | assistant boards.com podcast. Today's podcast and the next couple of |
| 0:09.6 | podcasts are going to be a little bit different. You know, we're not going to really be talking |
| 0:14.1 | about medical topics per se, but I'm going to be talking about the mental component that goes |
| 0:19.5 | along with studying medicine, the psychology, the mental barriers that affect so many people. |
| 0:25.6 | And really the basis behind this is I've been getting a lot of emails lately asking |
| 0:30.5 | about what happens if I fail to pants, What happens? You know, I fail the pants. Now what do I do? You know, I'm very stressed out. I have the pants coming up. And so a lot of this centered around, you know, people asking about pants, but I know there are other |
| 0:45.4 | mental barriers, I know there are other psychological factors that come into play |
| 0:49.2 | because I was there myself and you know I was surrounded by students that suffered these |

| 1:21.4 | as you study medicine? You know we got a lot of |
| 1:24.1 | responses we got a lot of comments and there were a few comments scattered in there as |
| 1:27.5 | well that said you know it feels good to not be alone you know I'm glad there are other |
| 1:30.9 | people that are going through this and feeling the same way. |
| 1:33.7 | So really I wanted to address those concerns today and you know I'm probably going to extend this |
| 1:38.0 | into two or three podcasts just because I feel like it's a very very important subject subject. It's something that isn't spoken a lot about in school, to be honest with you. |
