Nobody should do this alone
The hardest parts of this path are rarely academic. They are the moments you start doubting whether you belong. Those are exactly the moments mentoring is for.
Meet your mentor
Someone who has walked the road, walking it with you
PAve the Way Mentoring exists for a simple reason: nobody should have to piece this journey together from scattered advice and guesswork.

Hi, I'm Halcian Graham-Levy
I'm a physician assistant and the founder of PAve the Way Mentoring.
Like a lot of PAs, I learned much of this path the hard way. Which prerequisites really mattered. How to talk about my experience without shrinking it. What to do when a plan fell through and the timeline slipped. There was plenty of information out there, but very little of it felt like it was written for me.
So I started doing for other people what I wish someone had done for me: sitting down with them properly, reading the actual essay, asking the harder question, and saying plainly what I would do next. That is what this practice is.

Mentorship at every step of your PA journey
What I believe
Four things that shape every session
Specific beats inspirational
"Be yourself" is not feedback. You will leave sessions with concrete edits, an order of operations and a next step you can take this week.
Honesty is a kindness
If something in your application is not working yet, you deserve to hear it from someone who is on your side, early enough to do something about it.
Reach back as you climb
Mentoring is how this profession takes care of its own. That belief is why the PAve It Forward Scholarship exists.
