Welcome!

Hayley Root is a graduate of Sacred Heart University's PA program and has her BS in Neuroscience from Lafayette College. While in PA school she was secretary for her PA class, captain of the AAPA challenge bowl team, and Medical Reserve Corps volunteer. She was one of six students selected from the graduating class for induction to the National Honor Society for Physician Assistants. Along with her capstone thesis partner, she was awarded the Dean Maura Daly Iversen PA Research Award for Novel Applications. Hayley was an editor for the "First Line Guide: A Comprehensive Review of Didactic Medicine" by Mike Sacks and Tania Abousaid and passionate about PA education resources. Hayley hopes her study resources will help many PA students in the future and looks forward to growing the PANCE basics platform.

PANCE basics focuses on the first line presentation, diagnostics, and treatments of medical topics covered on the Physician Assistant National Certifying Examination (PANCE). This study method covers only high yield terminology and very basics of the disorders. By cutting out additional information, students can quickly review the basic building blocks of complex diseases. It is a fast and direct way to study for didactic tests, EOR exams, and the PANCE.
