THE BEST RESULTS COME FROM A SOLID FOUNDATION


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. 


We work with medical schools and PA programs to help them decrease attrition rates and improve student outcomes by providing a foundational course on time-management skills, notetaking techniques, high-impact study, test-taking habits, and more.

IS YOUR PA PROGRAM MISSING A CRITICAL KEY TO SUCCESS?


My name is Scott Massey PhD, PA-C, the founder of Success Skills for PA Students. I have been in PA education for 31 years, serving as faculty, program director, and research assessment chair. Additionally, I’ve also had the opportunity work as a success coach for PA students for over 25 years.


My work and focus over the past few years has centered around a disconnect I’m seeing within most PA programs across the country, and that is the fact that many students are not properly prepared or oriented for the rigor of a graduate level PA program.  

TESTIMONIAL


Scott Massey helped our program identify students at risk of failing the PANCE and met with each of them individually to work through their strengths and weaknesses. He worked with the students to develop individualized plans to lead them to a successful PANCE score.”


“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.”
