    The Where the White Coats Come Off podcast is an invaluable resource for anyone applying to PA school. As a current applicant myself, I have found this podcast to be one of the best out there. Beth and Katie provide helpful advice, inspiration, and new insights with each episode. They often bring on guests who share their experiences and expertise, adding even more value to the podcast. Whether you are considering becoming a PA or in the midst of the application cycle like myself, I highly recommend giving this podcast a listen.

    One of the best aspects of this podcast is that it helps me stay positive during the stressful application cycle. Beth and Katie's encouraging words and guidance serve as a constant reminder to keep pursuing my dream of getting accepted into PA school. Their episodes are full of helpful information that cannot be found elsewhere, making them an essential resource for pre-PA students. The hosts are knowledgeable, passionate about helping others succeed, and genuinely want to foster the next generation of professionals in the field.

    While there are many positive aspects of this podcast, there aren't any glaring negatives that come to mind. However, one minor criticism could be that some episodes may not delve deep enough into certain topics due to time constraints. However, this is understandable considering the variety of subjects they cover in each episode.

    In conclusion, The Where the White Coats Come Off podcast is a must-listen for anyone interested in becoming a PA or going through the application process. Beth and Katie provide invaluable advice, inspire confidence in their listeners, and offer unique perspectives from themselves and their guests. This podcast has been an immense help during my own application journey, and I am grateful for their guidance.
