“Even with only attending half the course, my OSCE station scores went up by an average of 10 marks and I went from passing seven stations to thirteen! Combined with some hard work, your course was an asset! Thanks for doing what you do!”

“Sofia and her team of PA examiners, and ACEs were brilliant. I was impressed that Matrix had pulled together such a comprehensive and content-rich course. A brilliant way to supplement your osce revision for finals and nationals. I learned lots of tips and tricks and the chance to network with a group of other PAs in a similar position as myself was invaluable. An intense couple of days but worth every penny. Well done Matrix.”

“I definitely recommend this course as it covers a good mixture of communication and examination skills and gives a realistic idea of what the Nationals will be like - highly beneficial!”

2nd Year Physician Associate Student

“This course was excellent in covering all aspects of the National exam osce. Practicing examinations and communications with qualified PA's who have already gone through the exams brought a unique perspective to preparing for the Nationals.

Going through common pitfalls, mistakes and improving osce technique the correct way has really added value to my preparation for the exam.

The addition of ACE's from the University Of Birmingham was invaluable to the course. They were able to assess and dissect my communication/examination skills providing useful tips and advice!

I am so grateful to say I have managed to pass all the stations in my national OSCEs, Thank you so much”

“A very informative and helpful session, I’ve now learned the important tips that we’ll need for our national exams. It makes it easier for us now that we know how to take histories, how to do emergency sessions, and what to practice on, including OSCE stations. Thank you! ”

- Hawraa Aj, 2nd Year Physician Associate Student

“It was a fabulous 2-day course going through and practicing all types of OSCE scenarios. Sofia did a great job in encouraging everyone to sit in the hot seat to practice and provide constructive feedback on what areas to improve. There were simulated patients to practice indicating where we should improve on when we practice the examinations. It was so great to meet people from other university PA courses ”

- Simmy Yee, 2nd Year Physician Associate Student

“Very relevant and tailored for physician associates. I definitely learnt a lot of techniques for the nationals. Excellent revision session and would highly recommend it. Definitely worth every penny. You get professional ACEs to practice examination and communication stations which I really enjoyed too!”

“I found this course to be really helpful in preparation for the nationals. Covered a wide range of histories and examinations and even had my exam techniques reviewed! Highly Recommended”

“Sofia is truly inspirational (as cringy as it sounds) because she retook National OSCE examinations more than once and she told us her experience to help us pass. Her reason for starting this course is to help PA students from feeling incompetent and struggling. She made fantastic mark schemes to look out for small marks we might miss. She tailored the sessions to what we want to learn, so it was not boring at all. She went through ways to approach different types of OSCE stations so we feel more confident when you don’t know what to expect. Best part was that they had two associate clinical educators come in to recreate communication and practical OSCE stations. Where they will give you feedback in a patient's perspective and how to improve. I have been on other courses but Sofia discusses about how to overcome National exams emotionally. She has been very supportive and friendly. I would definitely recommend this course to all PAs”

- Sharon Lam, 2nd Year Physician Associate Student

“The Matrix education 2-day course was really good! Despite having just started my first year on the course, I got a real sense of what’s yet to come.
It’s so nice being thought from an actual qualified PA who’s done the exam and knows exactly what you might expect in the real exam. Sofia’s story is so inspiring! She made us all feel quite at home and is so approachable, able to answer any questions you might have, but also ready to give feedback there and then. Considering this was my first time booking myself into a course, the actual price is a lot cheaper than what you might find anywhere else, which I normally find so off putting. I‘d definitely recommend the course to all my peers. I’m also very excited about the App launch, hopefully this will be quite handy by the time I sit the nationals. Again, thank you so much to Sofia and Aaron for all your help tips and advice! Hopefully will see you guys again very soon!!”
