"The Transition to Practice seminar gave me the support and confidence I needed to step into my first clinical role after graduation. It strengthened my ability to work up patients and recognize acute issues in both nursing home and primary care settings. The clinical reasoning exercises and real-world insights were immediately applicable to practice. I also really appreciated the opportunity to connect with fellow clinicians—to vent, share experiences, and offer each other much-needed support as a medical community. "

"The transition to practice seminar helped with my knowledge of developing a differential list. It is easy sometimes to narrow in on one diagnosis when all diagnoses should be considered and then ruled out. It also helped with my overall general practice knowledge. I am thankful for the presentation and guidance in my first year of practice. This helped me to become a better provider and confident in my role."

“The Transition to Practice Seminar gave me the reassurance I needed as a new grad stepping into urgent care after a 4-month gap between hire and start date. I was worried I had forgotten the foundation from PA school, but the seminar helped me refocus and regain confidence. It was a great refresher and mental reset. Connecting with fellow new grads and hearing their experiences was also valuable. The resources were practical, easy to access, and helped reduce my anxiety. I’d recommend this seminar to any new grad who doesn’t feel fully ready—which I imagine is most of us.”
