250k+ students
York has 8k+ students
York College - -senior college
-schools = arts & sciences, business & information systems, HEALTH SCIENCES AND PROFESSIONAL
PROGRAMS (PA, CLS, and health sciences)
-approx. 8K students
-50 acre campus
York PA program - -Queens High School for Sciences above
-simulation equipment
-lab spaces/lounge spaces
PA faculty/staff administrative titles - -directors: chair admissions, ASC, assessment committees, overall
responsibility for administration of program (Dr. Brugna/ Persaud)
-academic coordinator: Herel
-clinical coordinator: Shami
Principal faculty = Beckerman, Yuan
-adjuncts: Maida, County
-non-teaching adjuncts
-higher education officers: Barbara
,Tenure & academic titles - -first 7 years are annual reappointments
-"up or out"
-evaluated on 3 legs of a stool: service, scholarship, teaching
-83% of York faculty tenured
- 40% of York PA faculty are tenured (7.4% nationally)
calculating GPA - index value of grade earned x credits earned = total quality points
add total total quality points together and divide by total credits
GPA calculation practice
4 credits of A = 4*4 = 16
7 credits of B = 7*3 = 21
6 credits of B- = 6*2.7 = 16.2
17 credits total = add up all quality points / 17 = 53.2/17 = 3.129
studying syndrome: six-chambered heart - overthinking the questions
studying syndrome: slip and slide - can only focus on next exam, puts everything else on hold
-need to study little by little for EVERYTHING EVERY DAY
***reinforcement is key***
studying syndrome: oh yeah! - already believe yourself to be an expert, therefore don't devote time to
studying
***guideline for studying should be the level required to treat pts competently***
studying syndrome: too many books - purchasing books does not translate to instant ownership of
knowledge within them - a kind of study procrastination
studying syndrome: post-genius - student that has always gotten A's in school, rigors of PA school are
different
, ***end goal = competent PA, not high GPA***
studying syndrome: irrelevant material - material seems to too detailed or not relevant to PA's needs
***need baseline knowledge to treat pts quickly and effectively***
studying syndrome: recognize old test question - understand material so as to prepare for question in
any format - read question carefully
studying syndrome: memorize everything understand little - seek to understand, content stories, write
your own review questions, study with partner/group
low efficiency study strategies - -simple re-reading notes
-extensive re-writing without comprehension
-last minute cramming
strategies for effective studying - -seek understanding
-connect material
-visualize material in pt-care setting
-summarize/organize notes/readings
-write your own questions
-construct visual representations
-study with someone
-SLEEP
Cornell note taking system - -record: facts and ideas
-reduce: summarize (during and after)
-recite: in your own words
-reflect: distill opinions, uncover relationships
-review: even relatively few minutes over time very helpful to recall
