  • Debrazz
    Great info but too much fluff
    Stop with the plugging at the end and the beginning. If you have to do that pick one part of the episode so I can skip better
  • briamcmuffin
    Helping me for each EOR
    Love listening on my commutes to work during my rotations based on what I’m struggling with most for the end of rotation exams. Helps me feel like I’m getting some studying in even on the days I don’t fully sit down to properly study. So easy to understand and beak things down so it sticks long term.
  • UghImTired
    Priming Questions and Review are helpful BUT…
    The music in between is much louder than the him talking and it startles me when I have headphones in. I also don’t get why he laughs before explaining certain disorders. I get that people nervous laugh but it kinda sounds like certain disorders are “silly” and dismissive of those who have these certain disorders. Other than that the podcast helps me with retaining info I learned from school.
  • Liahts1
    way too much extra talking
    Some good information but would be better without all the extra talking at the beginning
  • sduben
    Not that good
    Contains inaccurate info and vital info is missing
  • MS. PRARTS
    Helped me pass the PANCE!
    Thank you so much for these reviews! They were a great way to reinforce key points for the exam! I found out this morning that I passed! Thanks again!
  • Cera Bellum
    Fantastic review!
    Great refresher tool as I studied for the IPANE that I JUST PASSED!!! I wish I had this when I took the PANCE originally almost a decade ago but was glad to have this when sitting the Irish Physician Associate National Exam in January. I’ve always had an auditory learner and having questions to drill in the car and on my walks was fantastic. I am now a PA-C and PA-IC!! Thanks!
  • sadiekw
    Current PA-S2
    I’m a current PA-S and absolutely love this podcast. It’s a 2 in 1, you get to study for both your EOR and the PANCE at the same time. Cool guy too. Highly recommend for your commutes, while you’re on the treadmill, or even while cleaning up your room. He uses questions in the beginning to get your mind going, prepping you for the upcoming content. This is a weekly staple for me. Thank you!!!
  • Bobbi-in-the-hole
    New Format
    I am a physician that listens. Helpful to review areas I am not expert in. The new format helps information stick!
  • Sween_todd
    Listen if you want to pass the pance
    I listened to this podcast while commuting, doing dishes, and walking around the block for most of clinical year. Some topics are more inclusive than others, but if you do what this man says (actively study, plan your study days, pause the podcast to think/rewind it to digest content) you will pass your boards and feel confident doing so. The best PANCE prep podcast out there in my opinion.
  • JoshuaUtah
    Excellent, Elite Content
    These podcasts are amazing. My only suggestion would be to cut out the bloopers. Other than that, this is fantastic content.
  • Smeoobfy
    Thank you!
    I cannot recommend your podcast enough to my peers. You have a gift for teaching, and perfectly balance the need to know info, with interesting stories to keep me from zoning out during a drive. Your podcast has been an amazing find to help supplement learning!
  • futurepagirl
    5 Stars
    Highly recommend. I started listening to the podcasts in the middle of my first year of PA school. They help me as a current didactic student, especially since staring at my computer screen all day with the current pandemic. Brian has such a calming demeanor and I like that he sometimes associates short stories about his family with certain diagnoses. I enjoy the few minute intro and study tips at the end. The intro and his calm personality make a pleasant study session, something that I didn’t know could exist in PA school.
  • pithy_name
    PA students
    This podcast has been incredibly helpful to maximize my time while I drive to site and commute in the morning. It does not have the full blueprint but it covers a lot of topics and has helpful tips and tricks for test taking. It also pimps you as you drive. I recommend it for all PA students to check out.
  • Brrrreeennnaaily
    Eh
    So much rambling besides the content. Also constantly correcting himself and misspeaking, makes it confusing and frustrating to listen to while I’m driving.
  • lrich013
    Great Podcast
    I love listening to this podcast. Thank you Brian for your hard work and providing this awesome study tool! I listen to the podcasts while I run and during my commutes. They have been a great way for me to get more study time in. There have been multiple times on tests that these podcasts have helped me answer questions correctly. I highly recommend them!
  • Ashley Heppner
    Great review
    I am currently a PA student wrapping up my first year of school, and this podcast has been SO helpful as I prepare for finals! It has been especially nice to listen to since transitioning to online school due to Covid-19. I get sick of sitting by myself staring at a computer screen all day, so being able to listen to this while I cook, go for walks, or do other more active things has been awesome! Thanks so much!
  • PA-S42789
    Clutter
    This podcasts would be perfect if he started with the pertinent information right off the bat and also ditch the studying habit tips scattered throughout the podcasts. He does a very good job when he is actually presenting the information but sometimes I have to skip 4 minutes to get to the actual content.
  • JessKPAS
    Great review
    This podcast has been the best I’ve found to review topics I’ve learned months ago (and mostly forgotten!). I love that I can exercise while listening. The fact that it’s easy to listen to and takes a “quick and dirty” approach is perfect.
  • Ana la bananan
    So frustrating
    The information presented in this podcast is good. But it’s so irritating to have to listen to stories about the authors kids or wife or whatnot. Plus the study tips that I’m not interested in very much but I have to sit through to get to the questions . I would appreciate it so much more if he could do a podcast just going over topics for school.
  • Deadbee8
    Great way to review on SmartyPANCE
    Brian’s podcast is nicely integrated into SmartyPANCE platform and is also nice to have as a review podcast outside of this platform. The podcast is done in a format that is easy to follow and makes the learning process fun. I enjoy listening to this while working out or driving. Thank you, Brian!
  • Pac man Dan
    I passed!!!
    Brian thank you so for all of your encouragement, study tips, and explanation of the content! I credit your podcast in my success of both getting through P.A. school and passing the PANCE! It is because of you that I now have “pance” to go with my white coat😉 ~Dan
  • Sleepinstudent123
    Easy to follow along & to the point
    I really enjoy listening to Brian. When I was in PA school I was always up for learning topics in various manners & he does a nice job giving his honest opinion. He lays out the important points & goes over those high yield topics. I definitely recommend this podcast during didactic and clinical year. I used them during my commutes to rotations. If you need the visual his website is great too. I also had the final step which was great to take along and even have a friend/family quiz me. I passed the PANCE 01/2020 and definitely recommend this podcast for studying and as a PA-C.
  • kenzie hopper
    Physician assistant student
    THESE POD CASTS ARE AMAZING!! I’m currently in my clinical medicine class & listening to these podcasts are insanely helpful! It allows me to study while at the gym or in the car, instead of constantly having to stare at my computer screen or my printed notes! I really love how the podcasts are formatted, with the questions at the beginning, then the material in the middle, and then circling back around to answering the questions!
  • Shae-hey-hey
    Good for nurses too!!!
    I found this Podcast by accident while looking for review material in nursing school. In my 3rd semester we covered Psychiatric nursing and microbiology. The season one episodes that had been left up on iTunes just happened to coincide and the beginning of season two rolled right into OB/GYN which I start next semester. The rest of my cohort listened to the psychiatric podcasts before finals and we all found it very helpful. I highly recommend it for nursing students. The audio review is convenient for commutes, doing yard work and chores around the house and even walking the dog. Thank you!
  • Flitterb
    CALLING ALL NURSE PRACTITIONER STUDENTS
    I have been listening to this podcast for several weeks now. I know you are a PA and this podcast is directed more to the PA, but the study tips and content are applicable to nurse practitioner students tjat do not want to pay 100’s of dollars for a board review course. I have not been able to find anything like this for free specifically for NPs. Thank you for putting this content out. I really appreciate it. I am taking boards next week and because of this program I am confident about passing! One thing to point out is that one of my struggle categories is STDs. I found the material in different episodes but would be nice to have a podcast specifically for STDs!! Thanks again for what you do!
  • tjwoot
    Love this podcast
    This has been the most helpful podcast I have found while going through FNP school. I use this to review at least weekly and the information is concise and repetitive, which is very helpful!
  • CourtK8
    Just what I needed!
    So thankful for this review podcast! I’ve learned so much while driving to rotations and it’s not been miserable to pack even more learning in the day. Thanks so much for your awesome content!
  • Angelanicole93
    LIFESAVER for long clinical site commutes
    This is by far one of the best podcasts to listen to when studying for the PANCE! I occasionally have long commutes to my rotations and I enjoy popping this on my radio. I’m about to take my PANCE in a month and I have been catching up on episodes. PA Wallace gives you pertinent, high yield information and also gives you other tips and tricks along the way. Can’t thank him enough for putting this together!
  • Widgeon537190
    Great for med school too!
    One of my favorite resources med school Just be prepared to mash the skip forward button at the beginning and about halfway through each video to get to the good stuff.
  • M.C, PA-C
    Invaluable material
    This material is incredible. Straight to the point, removes all of the extra, confusing information on a topic and outlines the differences in diseases processes well. These podcasts single handedly prepared me to pass the PANCE 3 weeks after graduation. I can’t thank Brian Wallace enough for the time and energy he puts into this, it really is invaluable.
  • TomE Pickles
    Perfect
    Just found out I passed the PANRE! Thanks again Brian **(1 week ago) Just took the PANRE today and felt confident. Mostly because of the time spent listening to this podcast (listened to them ALL). It has been a life-saver while working full time and caring for 2 kids. The only other resources I used were the 2 practice exams from NCCPA (which give you feedback), and Davis’s PA Exam Review. Brian, I can’t thank you enough for all the work you’ve put into this invaluable resource. Keep it up! -Tom Everts PA-C Manitou Springs, CO
  • Very disappointing 12334564
    Thank you
    This follows the PANCE blueprint (and my didactic year studies) perfectly! Huge timesaver listening to these while driving/exercising instead of having to set aside more time in the day to read through old notes! Very organized and succinct. I definitely plan on listening to them all!
  • amanda129352765223
    For Reviewing!
    Perfect 👌 I love this podcast. Thank you!
  • Shreward
    Great Resource
    This review series is excellent for students and for those of us doing recertifications as well. PA Wallace does a great job of packaging information. I typically listen in the car and this is great.
  • hbpacnj
    Great podcast!
    Listened to it everyday to and from work in preparation for my PANRE and it was totally worth it! Brian does a great job giving us what we need to pass and not wasting our time. PAs looking to prepare for their PANCE/PANRE would be foolish to pass this up. His website is also a valuable resource. Highly recommended!
  • MC22956
    Best PA Podcast!
    I just wanted to say that this has been the best podcast out there for a quick review for End of Rotation exams, especially during clinical year when my rotations are mostly 1 hour + drive. I love the quick recall and newer podcasts with review questions. I would love if you could add more podcasts for Pediatrics specific diseases, as this seems to be one of the topics that you have not covered as it is not that prevalent on the PANCE. Keep up the good work!
  • Becca_PA-S
    Study on the move!
    I am in my clinical year and enjoy using this podcast as a tool to review during my car rides. It’s the perfect amount of information/time to get my mind moving and test my recall. I plan to continue using it as I finish up my clinical year and prepare for the PANCE. Can’t say enough about how helpful this podcast has been! Thanks for all that you do, Brian!
  • o1NiCK
    Thank you!
    Hey Brian, I’ve been listening to your podcasts now that I began rotations and I just wanted to tell you thank you. I drove 2-2.5 hours one way to my rotations and these have been so helpful since I spend a lot of time in the car everyday. I literally paused one session just to pray over you — thank you for being such a blessing. I pray God bless you for blessing me and everyone out there who has benefited from you. I also be purchasing your book! Best wishes, Steph
  • sarahpeff
    Thank you Brian!!
    This podcast has been so incredibly helpful for me during PA school! I usually listen to it while driving or exercising. The episodes are well organized, which makes it easy to follow and learn the content. Brian follows the PANCE blueprint, so it’s easy for me to find the exact episodes I need depending on what unit I’m studying. Thank you sooo much Brian! I’m always looking forward to the new episodes. I don’t know what I’d do without your podcast!
  • Musicoholic4
    Thank you
    Not only is the exam review high-impact, but his study advice is great as well! Thanks to this podcast, my nerves were calm and my mind focused for the PANCE
  • vrollins
    So helpful
    Great review of topics. Perfect for driving to and from rotations!
  • christin hoff
    Christin
    Excellent podcast!! Bryan is really good at giving important information. Really helpful for EOR!
  • Dombshell14
    Must listen for PA students
    Listened to this on the car ride to school. He follows the PANCE blueprint, which aligned well with my didactic year curriculum. The short episodes helped me digest things in a short amount of time, but allowed multiple replays to help the info “stick” before an exam. Don’t know what I’d do without this podcast in didactic year
  • oliehouse
    must listen
    These podcasts are absolutely a life saver. I listen to them for my exams during school but will definitley relisten before my PANCE! Quick overview of important information and easy to listen to.
  • natalie_17_
    Super helpful podcast for PA students!
    This podcast has been so helpful for me during my didactic year. Brian Wallace does a great job being straightforward with the material, presenting it in a clear concise manner. I listen to the podcast to help me review for my clin med test during long drives or walks.
  • bbsport73
    Love the pod but...
    Love the podcast but Brian’s nervous/filler laugh is tough for me to listen to after months of listening now lol
  • HRP95
    Wish I would have found this sooner!
    Finishing up my didactic phase of PA school and I really wish I would’ve found these podcasts sooner! I listened to them on a long road trip and it was great! They are finely tuned to being centered for the PANCE/PANRE and do a great job of going over each topic. I have been listening to them each day while working out, walking the dog, or whenever I find some extra time! Highly recommend!!
  • Heychristeenie
    Really helpful, even as a student
    In preparation for my PA shool exams I listen to this while I walk my dogs. Listening to a topic before I have the lecture really helps me understand the information in class. And it may sound crazy to some, but I listen to each one multiple times before my exams and the auditory learning is very helpful. I also love the quick study questions before and at the end of each episode. I would love this to continue / be updated when various practice guidelines change so I can continue to use it as a refresher for years to come!
  • Maddy.love.soccer0
    Great quick review!
    I have been loving listening to these while driving to my clinicals! Thanks for summarizing all of the information and highlighting the key terms. I really like the recall questions at the end of some of the episodes.
