"PA school gives you a fire hose.
PA Guide gives you a map."

Jono Lippman, PA-C

Built by Jono Lippman, PA-C — a career-changer who started PA school with a weak medical background and a baby at home. He refused to let school cost him his family or his health — so he built the map instead, and still finished class president without ever studying at night.

The system that got him through — now yours

The problem

The problem is not the effort. It's that your work never becomes a system.

Most students collect information — slides, apps, random notes — and call it studying. Then test week comes and you have nothing you trust. The stress is uncertainty:

What matters?
What do I write down?
What do I review?

It's not that you're not working hard enough. PA school hands you a fire hose and no cup — then acts like it's your fault when you can't drink fast enough. That's the problem. Not you.

PA Guide turns your effort into a tangible asset: a finished reference guide that compounds every semester.

Stop collecting. Start building something you'll use at boards, on rotations, and in practice.

Picture week one of boards prep: no panic, no scrambling. You flip to your own cardiology page — the one you built — and it's all there. That's what a system feels like.

Every week without a system is another week of notes you can't trust — and remediation, a retake, or a failed rotation costs far more than $399.

Your 3-step plan

Blank notebook in, finished guide out.

Three steps that turn your study sessions into something you can trust on exam day.

1

A notebook built for reference, not journaling

Illustrated, outlined and structured so information is captured the same way every time. Designed to become a review tool, not a diary.

2

The system tells you what to write (and what to skip)

Online course, AI clinical challenges, quizzes, flashcards, games: high-yield frameworks show you exactly what belongs on the page.

3

You drill and review from your own guide

Quizzes, flashcards, clinical cases, and AI reasoning turn your notes into recall and clinical thinking.

"Strategic, focused, and grounded in how real students learn — not another content dump."

Read full review

As a high-stakes exam coach who's helped hundreds of PA students navigate the pressure cooker of testing performance, I'm always on the lookout for tools that actually move the needle. Jono's PA Guide is one of them. His approach is strategic, focused, and grounded in how real students learn and retain information—especially under pressure. What I appreciate most about the PA Guide is that it's not just another content dump. It's a thoughtfully crafted system that builds understanding, reinforces recall, and promotes smart, active study techniques. If you're looking for a study method that's structured, student-centered, and built for long-term retention, I strongly recommend checking it out.

The PA Guide is one of the best resources for PA students and practicing PAs. His approach is clear, strategic, and totally rooted in how students learn (especially under the pressure that comes with having to learn and retain loads of info). It's a smart, easy-to-follow system that helps you actually understand the material, remember it, and study in a way that makes sense.

"Game changer — realistic cases, sharp explanations. Like a preceptor + study buddy in your pocket."

I've tried a lot of study tools, and this one? Game. Changer. From urology to general surgery to urgent care and family med, the case studies are realistic, the explanations are sharp, and it's frighteningly on point, evidence based and really helpful. It's like having a preceptor, study buddy, and hype squad in your pocket.

"What PA Guide is really delivering is focus."

Jono Lippman, PA-C — founder of PA Guide
About the founder

Built by a PA who had every reason to fail.

I get it — I nearly drowned in PA school too. You shouldn't have to.

I'm Jono Lippman, PA-C — an emergency medicine PA. But I started PA school as exactly the candidate you'd bet against: a career-changer with a weak medical background, married with a one-year-old daughter — I'd graduate with three. I decided early that PA school would not win a war against my marriage, my family, or my health.

So instead of grinding harder, I built a system. I never studied at night. I took every single Sunday off. And it worked — I served as class president, co-directed a student-run clinic, and finished strong without giving up the life I was building at home.

PA Guide is that system, refined — an illustrated notebook and course that gives you a clear map through the overwhelming terrain of medical knowledge, so every study session leaves you with something you'll actually use on rotations, on boards, and with real patients.

Common questions

Still deciding if PA Guide is right for you?

Real answers for PA students, future PAs, faculty, and practicing clinicians who want a more organized way to study medicine.

What is PA Guide?

PA Guide is a PA school study system built to help physician assistant students organize board review, clinical medicine, and high-yield content into one structured notebook and digital learning platform. It combines a physical Board Review Notebook, system-based study materials, quizzes, flashcards, clinical reasoning tools, and an AI clinical coach so you are not jumping between random slides, notes, apps, and qbanks with no plan.

Is PA Guide a PANCE prep course or a PA school study system?

Both, but the real strength is that it starts before board panic. PA Guide is built for didactic year, clinical rotations, EOR exam review, and PANCE prep. Instead of waiting until the end of PA school to cram, you build a reference guide as you learn, then use that same system for rotations, board review, and long-term clinical recall.

What exactly do I get with PA Guide?

You get the physical Board Review Notebook, digital system notebooks, the PA Guide course, high-yield quizzes, flashcards, the PA Guide Bot AI coach, and clinical reasoning practice tools. The goal is simple: give you a clear structure for what to learn, what to write down, what to review, and how to turn scattered study sessions into something you can actually use.

How does PA Guide help with clinical rotations and EOR exams?

Clinical rotations move fast, and EOR exams can feel like a completely different kind of studying. PA Guide helps you keep the high-yield diagnoses, medications, red flags, workups, and treatment patterns organized by system so you can review quickly before rotation exams and think more clearly when you are seeing real patients.

How is PA Guide different from a qbank, Anki deck, or another study app?

A qbank gives you questions. Anki gives you recall reps. A study app gives you more content. PA Guide gives you the structure around all of it. The quizzes, flashcards, and AI tools are not the whole product — they support the bigger goal of building a finished board review and clinical reference notebook you trust.

I'm already overwhelmed in PA school. Will this add more work?

No — it is designed for the student who already has too much coming at them. PA Guide helps reduce decision fatigue by giving each study session a clear output. You are not trying to rewrite everything. You are learning what matters, putting it into a system, and reviewing it in a way that sticks.

When should I start using PA Guide?

The best time to start is early in PA school, especially during didactic year, because your notebook compounds over time. That said, students can still use PA Guide during clinical year or dedicated PANCE prep to rebuild structure, organize weak areas, and stop relying on scattered resources.

Does PA Guide help with clinical reasoning?

Yes. PA Guide is not just about memorizing lists for a test. The system is built to help you connect symptoms, diagnoses, workups, treatments, red flags, and next steps. That is what PA students need for rotations, EOR exams, the PANCE, and real patient care.

Can PA programs or faculty use PA Guide for students?

Yes. PA Guide offers program licensing options for faculty, PA programs, professors, and program directors who want to give students a shared structure for board review, remediation support, clinical reasoning, and study organization. It can support individual students, cohorts, and programs that want something more practical than another pile of content.

Does the price include shipping? How fast does the notebook arrive?

Yes — the $399 lifetime price includes free shipping within the US. The hardcover Board Review Notebook typically arrives in about 10 days, and your digital access (course, quizzes, flash cards, AI coach, and clinical games) is available immediately after checkout, so you can start before the notebook lands.

What if PA Guide is not the right fit for me?

PA Guide includes a 30-day money-back guarantee. If you try it and decide it is not the right fit, email within 30 days and you can get a full refund. No weird hoops. No guilt trip. The goal is to help you study with more structure, not trap you in something you do not want.
