    It's time to level up! We're pushing the boundaries this year in every way possible, scheduling, volume, our sanity, etc. We are also plunging into the world of regenerative medicine. This week, join us as we brush the surface level of how we are working to offer non traditional methods to augment our orthopedic care plans, taking things to the next level!

    PA school will teach you a lot… including what not to tolerate while dating.

    We’re breaking down what dating really looks like during PA school.

    We cover:

    • Dating classmates (pros, cons, and hard no’s)
    • Dating outside of medicine
    • When dating becomes a distraction vs a support
    • Time constraints, burnout, and emotional availability

    If you’ve ever asked yourself, “Do I even have time to date?” — this episode is for you.

  • Dilemmas of the Ortho PA
    Jan 12 2026

    Send us a text

    Being an orthopedic PA means living in the gray.

    In this episode, we dive into the ethical dilemmas unique to orthopedic practice — the moments that don’t show up in textbooks but define real-world decision-making. From surgical vs non-operative care, to the blurry areas of patient advocacy, and documentation ethics, we unpack the tough calls ortho PAs face every day.

    This episode isn’t about having perfect answers — it’s about asking the right questions, protecting your patients, and protecting yourself as a PA in a high-stakes specialty.

    Whether you’re a PA student, new grad, or seasoned ortho PA, this one will feel uncomfortably familiar — in the best way.
