Does learning all of the new medical material during didactic year feel like drinking from a firehose? Is your class drowning in hundreds of disorganized PowerPoint slides before every exam? I know exactly the struggle you’re going through.
I’m Phoebe, a soon-to-graduate PA student who has achieved straight A’s in PA school, and I created these high-yield study guides to help you cut through the noise, connect the dots between classes, and ace your didactic year exams with confidence. Let’s get you from stressed to successful!
Why These Study Guides Work
My guides go beyond high-yield summaries and give you graphically organized cheat sheets designed to cut through the chaos of didactic year and help you build a rock-solid foundation for clinicals. Here’s what makes them different:
- Connects the Dots for You: I’ve structured the content to link clinical medicine, pathophysiology, and pharmacology so you’re not just memorizing facts but truly understanding the “why.”
- Builds Your Clinical Foundation: Every guide is stripped of low-yield fluff, focusing on the core concepts you absolutely NEED to know for your exams, your rotations, and the PANCE.
- Created by a Peer Who Gets It: I’ve been right where you are and used these study guides to succeed. They have everything you need to not only pass each exam, but also clearly understand the first-principles behind the medicine.
“I LOVED how concise and well-formatted the study guides were. When faced with hundreds of slides, these guides distilled everything into high-yield, well-organized pages. The charts had space for notes, and the algorithms made even complex topics easy to understand.”
— Melina, PA-S
“If a professor’s lecture was confusing, these guides helped me focus on the most important details. Concise yet comprehensive, they were the perfect supplement to my studies. Without them, I don’t know how I would have passed my clinical medicine exam.”
— Andrew, PA-S
“Phoebe’s study guides were structured perfectly to condense all relevant information without feeling overwhelming. I used them with classmates to quiz each other and review before exams—it was an excellent reinforcement tool.”
— Luba, PA-S

Get GuideWhy Trust These Guides To Help You Get A’s?
Before creating my guides, I worked in endocrinology, interventional cardiology, and ophthalmology. This clinical experience, combined with my research background as a Stanford COMET Fellow, has helped me understand what matters most in real-world patient care.
I’ve poured all of this knowledge—plus countless hours of analyzing PA school exams, clinical guidelines, and commonly tested concepts—into creating study materials that actually get your test scores above 90%, FAST.
The Science Behind My Study Guides
High-Yield Focus
Each guide targets the 20% of material that shows up in 80% of exam questions.
Strategic Visual Organization
Every topic includes color-coded diagrams and decision trees that are easy to recall during exams.
Intuitive Clinical Groupings
Related conditions are clustered together in ways that match clinical practice.
Layered Learning Approach
Each section starts with must-know essentials and builds to deeper details.
Practical Memory Triggers
Visual frameworks and color-coding make information stick without endless memorization.
No-Fluff Content
Every page is stripped down to exactly what you need to know.
“Phoebe’s study guides were a life saver! They flow well together, either going from body system to body system, or from head to toe which helped when some powerpoints we had were all over the place. Her study guides provided the most relevant key concepts and often showed how two or more diagnoses relate/differ from each other which may have not been recognizable at first, and could potentially mix up on an exam question if you’re not aware of the small differences.”
— Marinda, PA-S
“These study guides helped me survive didactic year of PA school! They were incredibly well-organized and covered all the relevant key concepts from lecture. Each guide provided clear, concise content that made complex topics more digestible, which helped me retain the information better. They are also not overwhelming at all and very neat!… I was able to score a high score even with studying a complex topic in a short amount of time, and I give lots of credit to these study guides.”
— Emily, PA-S
Why Invest In Your PA School Success?
Let me be candid. As a PA student myself, I know every dollar counts. However, my classmates consistently save 10-30 hours of study time per exam block using these guides.
That’s more time to sleep, see family, or just avoid burnout before clinicals even start. Plus, they achieve higher scores! That’s why I’ve priced each guide to be accessible to every PA student who’s feeling overwhelmed.
“I did great on my first phys exam, not great on my second and so I was SO scared for the final, but Phoebe’s study guide for the phys final SAVED ME!!!!! I remember I needed a 90 to finish the class with an A and I got a 94!!! LEGIT ALL THANKS TO HER STUDY GUIDE!! These guides made my life so much easier!!”
— Melina, PA-S
“These guides provided so much information in a structured, non-overwhelming way. They made reviewing topics easy and saved me a ton of study time.”
— Timothy, PA-S
