"During my undergraduate program, a senior colleague at my school introduced me to the New England Journal of Medicine and the JAAPA. While I've just begun to delve into these over the last two years, I've already become a member of the AAPA and can't wait to learn more about other sources of great information for aspiring PAs."

Explain how you have stayed up-to-date on medical industry trends, breakthroughs, social concerns, and more during your undergraduate program. List a couple of medical journals that you like to read and discuss how often you dive into medical-related news. Perhaps you subscribe to a particular magazine or blog or follow certain social media accounts. It's also a great idea to ask the interviewers about their favorite ways to stay in touch on medical-related current events. Asking this question in return can make for great dialogue, and you never know what you will learn!
