Karen Calcaño, PA-C, is our lovely guest on today's episode, which is Part 1 of a two part series. Karen shares her amazing and moving story of resilience as she became a first gen PA, then struggled with burnout in our broken healthcare system, and now is focused on building both wealth and a life she loves. The best part is that she has incredible resources to help you on her blog, www.scalpelandheart.com , and she also just opened her Personal Statement Mastery course to help pre-PA students with their personal statements. Be sure to tune in again next week for Part 2 of our discussion!
