Job Shadow with Jodie Boggess

McKenna Merten- A Physician Assistant

Jodie Boggess Season 2 Episode 3

In this episode I speak with McKenna  Merten, a practicing PA, a new mom, and the wife of Luke Merten who was a guest on my most recent podcast release. 

As a graduate of University of Texas Medical Branch in Galveston, McKenna  now works in a primary care clinic.  She shares such helpful insight into her current role and gives a glimpse into her previous role working in a spinal surgery clinic.

The PA field is a very popular desire for students interested in pursuing a career in healthcare.  For those interested in this field, I think it would be really helpful to hear her input on general practice versus a pursuing a specialty.
