In this episode of The PA Process, we are joined by Menerva Lobe, a third-year PA student at The University of Utah PA program, AAPA student academy representative, and member on the leadership committee at AAPA student academy. With everything going on in the black community right now, this is a much-needed conversation. We talk about everything from dealing with racism as a PA student to strategies for overcoming barriers to the diversification of the PA profession, and so much more. My favorite quote from Menerva is “microaggressions, microinvalidations, and microinsults cut so much deeper because they tear the fibers of who you are as a person.” Trust me, you do not want to miss out on this episode!
