I had a phenomenal experience with the editing service as they really focused on providing suggestions of how to change and provided reasons why rather than just making changes themselves. I preferred it as it helps with other applications and makes you think a different way about how you answer questions.

Not only were you provided thorough details of constructive criticism, you also got told what areas were done well and how they can be further improved.

I really enjoyed that there was a structure in the feedback as well, where each feedback is separated by different suggestions.

I would highly recommend this service to others where possible. It helps with fine-tuning and provides perspective from PAs who have gone through the programs and know what they are looking for.”

Anne and her team of pre-PA coaches delivered a very high-quality editing service for the PA Supplemental Application. They provide a thorough line-by-line assessment of grammar, spelling, flow and overall content, with a detailed explanation of suggestions and how you can take your response to the next level.

As practicing Canadian PAs, Anne and the coaches have great insight on how to highlight your unique characteristics and personal experiences that admissions programs will look for in a PA applicant.

This service really helped me tie all of my ideas together in a way that reflects both my personality and the CanMEDS competencies effectively. Anne and her team even include a graded rubric that helps guide you on how to perfect your application.

After using the editing service, Anne and the coaches are quick to send back their edits and always willing to answer additional questions by email. I can’t thank them enough for their help and I 110% recommend this service to any pre-PA that is looking for comprehensive and professional feedback. If you’re contemplating using this service, I promise you won’t be disappointed!”

Working with Anne has truly been a blessing. Having engaged in several other prep sessions with different individuals before, I always received rather generic assistance. However, Anne's approach was refreshingly warm, welcoming, and accommodating from the very start.

Preparing with someone unfamiliar can be daunting, but Anne quickly established herself as a safe haven-a non-judgmental presence always ready to support and guide. What truly stood out was Anne's unwavering commitment to my success. She invested considerable time and effort in providing detailed feedback, demonstrating a genuine interest in my growth.

It's evident that she sees your achievements as her own, making her an invaluable asset in the prep process. With her wealth of knowledge and extensive teaching experience, Anne went beyond the role of an instructor, rather she had the qualities of a mentor and leader. Under Anne's guidance, I experienced so much growth within just a few sessions.

Her approach to preparation, diving deep into structures and strategies for different scenarios, was so important in my journey toward confidence and proficiency. Importantly, Anne's perspective as a PA ensured that her feedback was not only insightful but also aligned with the expectations of admissions committees-a level of expertise that sometimes well-meaning advice from family members.”

I found this service online through PA profiles I follow on Instagram and as a first-time applicant, I wanted to ensure my application demonstrated my best work. I had completed my written responses prior to this but was struggling with displaying all the attributes I wanted in a concise way.

The coaches gave suggestions on what I could improve on, highlighting the importance of being purposeful in my responses and ensuring that what was written answered the questions effectively. After receiving the revisions, I took time to rework my responses, taking out information that didn’t help strengthen my arguments and adding aspects of the CanMEDSPA competencies to truly demonstrate why I am a good candidate.

I ended up keeping my original work as a reference to see improvements, the responses are more focused, truly demonstrating my own attributes and why I want to become a PA.”

She provided line-by-line edits, which brought a level of professionalism to my CV that I never thought possible. Her attention to detail exceeded my expectations.

She provided examples, making the entire process clearer and more constructive.

Her familiarity with the University of Manitoba requirements was especially reassuring, ensuring that my CV aligns perfectly with the necessary standards.

My advice for other pre-PAs is to start your draft and connect with Anne early. The application cycle goes by very quickly so you want to give yourself enough time to write a personal statement and CV that you are proud of!”

Prior to my MMI coaching sessions, I felt extremely discouraged about my interview skills, as I was not confident in my McMaster Supplemental application interview. I felt as though my thoughts were disorganized and I came off nervous and unconfident. This took a major toll on me because I knew I needed to shine on my MMI’s to be able to secure a spot in either of the programs I applied to (UofT and McMaster).

I was fortunate enough to receive MMI invites from both schools so I knew Anne would be the best person to reach out to for MMI prep. I chose to work with Anne because she is extremely knowledgeable in this field and has always been a true inspiration of mine. She is a phenomenal advocate of this growing profession in Canada and I truly feel she had a significant impact on my Pre-PA journey.

When working with Anne, she was always extremely professional, but also very personable and warm. I felt no judgement when speaking with her and she was able to cater to my specific needs when it came to interview preparation. I appreciated her extremely detailed feedback on MMI questions I had sent to her, along with her live feedback during our meetings.

She was always extremely open and honest when providing this feedback, where she would give me both words of encouragement and point out things she appreciated in my responses, but also gave me constructive criticism and additional sources to further improve my answers for next time.

Anyone considering one of Anne’s services can expect to receive high-quality advice from an extremely knowledgeable person in this field. Prior to meeting with Anne, I believe the best way to prepare is by reflecting on your work/ life experiences that have brought you to where you are today, while also conducting some research on the MMI and current world events.

Overall, I feel beyond blessed to have been recognized by both PA schools and for that I cannot express how thankful I am for Anne’s support and guidance throughout my Pre-PA journey.”

I used the coaching service this application cycle after being unsuccessful in the interview process during previous years.

The coaching service was a great tool to help me practice MMI-style questions as well as receive feedback on what I could do to improve my performance. Additionally, the recorded video feedback that was accessible after the session was great a great aid to refer back to.

would highly recommend this service for anyone who needs that extra bit of help for their applications or is unsure on how to improve their performance. Thank you Canadian PA!”

I had a great experience with Anne to help edit and review my mini-essay questions. As a first-time applicant to the UofT program, I wanted to ensure that I was conveying my experiences and skillset in a clear and concise way.

Anne helped me reflect more on my experiences, identify key aspects to highlight and focus on, and provided great constructive feedback. . Anne was very thoughtful in her review and feedback, and sent each draft back in a very timely manner (especially during a very stressful time period).”

Interviewed at Calgary + Dalhousie MPAS

Prior to working with Anne during the 4 weeks of MMI Coaching I was very nervous about the structure of my MMI responses and how to navigate changing my response times based on the requirements from different schools. I was also quite concerned about making my responses exceptional in order to secure an acceptance into the PA program.

By working with Anne, I have successfully learned how to modify the structure of my response based on the time allotted and have gained immense confidence by doing so.

I knew I wanted to work with Anne since she is well-known for her PA advocacy work through her social media accounts, but also I found her supportive and caring personality really resonated with the way I best receive feedback.

By working with Anne you can expect an individualized plan based on your weaknesses and a strong mentor to guide you through the process of preparing for the MMI. I also would expect to spend at least 1 hour per day on MMI preparation during this period in order to make the most out of Anne’s feedback and recommendations.

I would recommend completing all of the necessary reading (Doing Right, BeMo’s Ultimate Guide to the MMI, and other materials) prior to the start of your coaching. I would also recommend taking advantage of access to Anne’s MMI Online Course earlier on during your 4 weeks of coaching so you have enough time to practice prior to the MMI.

I personally liked scheduling my Mock MMI 2 weeks out from my interview to give me sufficient time to make any corrections without feeling stressed about my upcoming interview. I have truly enjoyed Anne’s 4 weeks of MMI Coaching and would strongly recommend this service to anyone who has the time and extra resources to prepare for the MMI.”

Interviewed at Manitoba and UofT

Applying to the UofT Program with a lower competitive GPA, I knew I had to stand out more on my supplementary application. I had a general idea of what I wanted to portray as my experiences and who I am as an applicant. Still, my statement was sometimes too vague, or I didn’t provide enough evidence for specific points I made.

I decided to work with Anne because she is incredibly invested in the PA profession, and I knew she would provide a lot of knowledge and advice. Also, I have been following Anne for the past few years and used her resources to learn more about the PA role.”
