Yes, we do! "Can you help me get a copy of this research instrument?" Yes, I can!

In PA school, you will be asked to learn (read: comprehend and apply) more material than you may have had to learn in the past. For many students, the study and test-taking skills that worked in undergrad classes are less effective in PA school. These books can help you develop academic skills for success!
Beyond the resources listed here, remember that our faculty are here to help. If you're having problems, please make an appointment sooner rather than later. Of course, the Academic Enrichment Center and the Writing Center are also available to help (the Writing Center offers online services).
