That is weird. When I was looking they required separate anatomy and physiology along with biochem.

Our prereqs required one semester each of anatomy and physiology, or two semesters of a combined course. The course we are taking is called Functional Anatomy. I think we will be taking a systems approach. I will post more after ties days class. Thanks for checking it out

Just out of curiosity, how long did you go between undergrad and PA school?

I graduated from college in spring 2005, matriculated to grad school in January 2013, so by my math that is more than 7, less than 8.
So far I do not feel underprepared or out of touch with the material, except for anatomy. I performed less than optimally when I took it in college. Ive only had one session so far, and the syllibus looks daunting.
Most of my trepidation surrounds practical things like time managment, online resources, budgeting around financial aid, and things like that. But let me tell you, it feels absolutely wonderful to be in the classroom again (on THIS side of the podium).

Good looking blog, sir!
Definitely has peaked my interest in PA school and that route sometime down the road.

I really enjoy reading it! Is this an accelerated program or is this how fast paced most PA programs are?
