WITH SOME ATTRITION RATES APPROACHING OR TOPPING 20%, IT’S CLEAR THAT A ONE HOUR WELCOME EVENT IS SIMPLY NOT ENOUGH



Most schools have a short orientation meeting or welcoming event for students, but beyond the “friendly hello” and a few directions and instructions on what to expect, incoming students are not actually given the necessary resources, tools, and skills they need to get up to speed quickly.



If your school happens to have a student success center, that may offer some assistance, but beyond that most students are left to figure most everything out on their own… Thrown in the deep end without a life preserver.

IS YOUR PA PROGRAM MISSING A CRITICAL KEY TO SUCCESS?

With our Success Skills for PA Students course, we are partnering with you to give your students a foundational “toolbox” of time-management skills, notetaking techniques, high-impact study and test taking habits, and stress coping strategies.



By reinforcing and teaching these skills before a student begins to struggle, we improve student skills, confidence, and outcomes, and that means they stay enrolled at

your institution.

THIS 15-MODULE COURSE IS SPECIFICALLY

DESIGNED TO PREPARE PA STUDENTS

FOR GRADUATE LEVEL STUDIES

TESTIMONIAL

“The PANCE preparation workshop Scott Massey conducted for our first cohort was very effective. It provided our students with very clear direction to adequately prepare for the PANCE.”

“Scott Massey’s guidance for our students has been invaluable. We received a 100% PANCE pass rate for our first cohort. We will continue to utilize his services.”
